Abstract

The Japanese Association for Coastal Zone Studies proposed a newly drafted millennium appeal in 2000. It wished to establish a coastal zone management framework by outlining a desirable future coastal zone management plan in Japan. The appeal was one of the major milestones for Japan's coastal zone management history because the association consisted of a wide variety of scholars and practitioners interested in coastal zone studies. This research reviewed the appeal in order to evaluate the accomplishments and characteristics of the appeal. The results of this study clearly indicated that the appeal adopted the latest research developments from the international coastal zone management community. It was also suggested that the appeal could be a unique advisory opinion for Japan's coastal community and associated authorities.
