This book is among the products of a research project entitled "Measuring, monitoring and managing sustainability: The coastal dimension" INCO-DC programme over the period 1998-2002. The contributions reflect a range of disciplines including sociology, economics, biology, chemistry, hydrology, geography and botany. The objective is to highlight (1) the interface between social and environmental issues in a coastal tourism context, (2) the issues that need to be considered in planning and managing for coastal development within a sustainability framework, and (3) the need for coastal policy making to be more state holder-sensitive. This roadmap provides a synoptic account of the analysis, results and decision tools developed to measure, monitor and manage coastal tourism development, along sustainable paths
