Blessed with warm tropical climate and high rainfall, these waters are further enriched with nutrients from land which enable them to support a wide diversity of marine life. Because economic benefits could be derived from them, the coastal zones in these countries teem with human settlements. Over 70% of the population in the region lives in coastal areas which are characterized by high-level resource exploitation brought about by increasing population pressure and associated economic activities over the last two decades. Large-scale destruction of the regions valuable resources has caused serious degradation of the environment, thus affecting the economic condition and quality of life of the coastal inhabitants. This lamentable situation is mainly the result of ineffective or poor management of the coastal resources. It is essential to consider coastal resources as valuable assets that should be utilized on a sustainable basis. Unisectoral overuse of some resources has caused grave problems. Indiscriminate logging and mining in upland areas might have brought large economic benefits to companies undertaking these activities and, to a certain extent, increased government revenues, but could prove detrimental to lowland activities such as fisheries, aquaculture and coastal tourism-dependent industries. Similarly, unregulated fishing efforts and the use of destructive fishing methods, such as mechanized push-netting and dynamiting, have caused serious destruction of fish habitats and reduction of fish stocks. Indiscriminate cutting of mangroves for aquaculture, fuel wood, timber and the like has brought temporary gains in fish production, but losses in nursery areas of commercially important fish and shrimp, c.
