International Conference on Coastal Zones May 16-18, 2016 Osaka,Japan

Coastal life is comfortable, relaxed and unfussy, and interiors in this style reflect that mood. They're loosely arranged and casually outfitted—no finicky fabrics or fine furnishings. Textiles and surface materials are simple, natural, and durable; clear blues, sea greens, creamy whites, and beiges call to mind the hues of sand and water. Nautical and beach accents, such as shells, coral, and sea creatures, lighten up the look in an entirely appropriate way.

Coastal tourism and recreation involves travelling to the coastal environment primarily for leisure purposes. It is influenced by the proximity to the coast and the attraction and availability of coastal resources. Coastal recreation encompasses activities in the coastal environment that are undertaken by visitor and resident recreational user groups. Both activities are closely interlinked and are associated with and/or dependent on the coastal locality.

Recreation in terms of developing Tourism & Infrastructure and aquaculture which improves the Nation’s Economy by planning and beach design is of prime importance. Petroleum Industry is majorly engaged with coastal zones. Coral reef resources are also another focused sector in outcome of natural resources. While engaging in the development of these areas, the risk reduction and land use planning have to be considered in terms of natural life forms and investigation of coastal environmental impact simultaneously predicting Environmental variations.Tourism and Recreation is now one of the global engines of economic development and a fundamental component of many nations Gross National Product (GNP). Although the industry is not dissimilar to any other in that it is susceptible to the vagaries of the global economy, it has experienced continued growth over the last decade. Every year, more people are in motion than ever before in history.

To ensure that structures have minimal impact on the coastal environment and are kept in good condition, Planning Design & Construction of Ports & Marinas is essential. Coastal and Maritime Engineering involves Port Navigation Systems, Dredging, Mining & Monitoring, Deep Water Terminals, Designing and Planning Coastal Infrastructure, Desalination & Water Treatment Technologies. Remote Sensing & GIS and Maritime Meteorology involves with planning and strategy of the structures. Maritime archaeology deals with the submerged or damaged structures and monuments along the coastal regions.

Coastal structures are an important component in any coastal protection scheme. They directly control wave and storm surge action or to stabilize a beach which provides protection to the coast, majorly comprises Structural and Soft Engineering Techniques. Worldwide investigations like Designing Artificial Reefs will stabilise the Biodiversity. Sloping dykes in the forms of designing gentle slopes type coastal dykes to minimise environmental damage when constructing and maintaining buildings and other public amenities in coastal areas.

Coastal areas include continental shelf, slope and estuaries and their processes. Study on wave and their hydrodynamic modelling helps in sedimentation and navigational process of comprehensive sediment management. It involves Coastal oceanography and lagoons in Investigating seashore deposits, shoreline changes. Conservation in marine eco systems, coastal morphology helps in protecting the marine habitats and future survival.

Climate change could affect coastal areas in a variety of ways. Coasts are sensitive to sea level rise, changes in the frequency and intensity of storms, increases in precipitation, and warmer ocean temperatures. climate change may require new approaches to managing land, water, waste, and ecosystems. Climate change will likely bring heavier rainfall and more precipitation to some coastal areas.Coastal zones and the infrastructure are the areas directly impacted by Tsunamis and the climatic change. There should be a Hazard assessment planning and information on Tsunamis, storm surges like cyclones, Hurricanes and typhoons. Geography and remote sensing plays a key role in analysing the impact and recovery from coastal revetment on tsunami run-up, Ecological restoration and simulation by reproducing storm surges.

Planning and management for coastal zones involves with defences, socio-environmental issues, along neighbouring coastal nations. There should be controlled and strict strategy in sustainable use of resources, mangrove forest management, Identification of Ecologically Critical Areas, Energy recovery divisions for better future habitat in coastal cities. Cost Effective Management To Reduce Hazardous Substances, pollution have to be under controlled monitoring in improving Coastal Water Quality.

We are all dependent on the oceans, coasts and seas to provide food, energy, climate regulation, transport and even recreation – the sustenance of life. There should be a Marine and Coastal Strategy  to improve coastal water quality through addressing land based pollution, strengthen ecosystem management of marine areas within and beyond national jurisdictions, equip countries with tools for reconciling the different demands on marine and coastal resources, in particular small islands and other vulnerable places.

To encourage coastal areas to develop and implement coastal zone management plans,national policy would be established to preserve, protect, develop, and where possible, restore or enhance, the resources of the Country's coastal zone for this and succeeding generations.

The most prominent areas to make investment that have vulnerable growth is the Coastal and Marine Industries division. Areas like Resource Exploitation-Fisheries, Oil & gas and Mining, Infrastructure-transportation, ports, harbours, shoreline protection works,Tourism and Recreation,Conservation Reserves and protection of biodiversity are the fields to challenge the world/Nations economy in future endeavours.Planning with smart growth principles can help communities make efficient investments in buildingsand other infrastructure, protect and restore critical environmental areas, and protect public health.

Coastal Zones- 2016 facilitates a unique platform for transforming potential ideas into great business. The present meeting/ conference creates a global platform to connect global Entrepreneurs, Proposers and the Investors in the field of Coastal and Marine studies and its allied sciences.
