The Integrated Coastal Management Act
The National Environmental Management: Integrated Coastal Management Act (No. 24 of 2008) was signed into enforcement on 1 December 2009. Most environmental policy and legislation is set at national level and falls under the umbrella of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), 1998. The ICM Act represents the culmination in the development of a management regime that started with a position Green Paper and was followed by a policy White Paper endorsed by Parliament. The ICM Act establishes a system of integrated coastal and
estuarine management regimes that protects the coastal environment and the maintenance of its natural functioning, while ensuring that development and the use of coastal resources is sustainable and sympathetic to prevailing coastal conditions.
The is established to ensure the protection of the ecological integrity, natural character and economic, social and aesthetic values of the coast. The coastal protection zone nominally includes land falling within 100m of the high-water mark in urban areas and within 1km in rural areas, unless otherwise determined by the MEC (Member of Executive Council).
The ICM Act calls for the development of a coastal management programme (CMP) at the national, provincial and local levels. These, aligned with each other, ensure integrated, holistic coastal management at all levels of government.

Management
The ICM Act follows the principle of participatory management & calls for the public to participate in ensuring sustainable management & development in the coastal zone.
One of the core elements of the ICM Act is the role played by stakeholders. The Act attaches great importance to the principle of participatory management, whereby all parties that have
jurisdiction over the area in question should be consulted. It also calls for the public to participate in management changes in the coastal zone. This ensures that you, the public, has a voice in the management of our coast.
