Unesco Programme Activities in the Coastal Zone

The spectrum of Unesco9s activities as concerns the coastal zone covers a wide range of aspects. These activities are grouped in a number of programmes and projects. Brief descriptions of the main activities, both those funded by Unesco itself and those executed by Unesco but funded from external sources, are presented. Reference is made to the programme on "Management of coastal and island regions" in the Unesco Medium-Term Plan for the period 1984-1989.
