摘要

This study examines the role of Territorial Fragmentation as a Barrier to Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Brazil, highlighting the disconnect between artificially delineated boundaries and the interconnected natural and human processes within coastal ecosystems. The main research questions are: Which territorial sectors should be included in Brazil’s ICZM? Does the current management approach effectively coordinate and engage relevant stakeholders? Which existing instruments in Brazil could support successful ICZM? This paper reviews existing ICZM models and guidelines, scientific references, and government documents. We analyze how this fragmentation hinders effective environmental management, leading to policy implementation failures and limited stakeholder engagement. In response, we explore the shift towards integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) as a strategy to address these shortcomings. ICZM emphasizes holistic approaches that consider diverse ecological flows, stakeholder interests, and land-use patterns to achieve sustainable development. However, challenges persist, including resource constraints, institutional instability, and a lack of clarity in the definition of “integration.” Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of transitioning from fragmented to integrated management frameworks to effectively address the complex environmental challenges facing coastal zones.
