摘要：

Kuwait's coastal area is considered to have special importance because most urban, industrial, commercial and recreational activities are concentrated in this zone. It also represents the main source of fresh water and electricity in the country. Besides, the coastal zone has a unique ecosystem and is a significant nursing ground for fish and shrimp. The characteristics and utilization of the Kuwait coastal zone are reviewed. Plans to use the coastal area are discussed, and problems associated with planning, implementation, and management are identified. The essential elements for managing the Kuwaiti coast are introduced, and the technical and organizational requirements of such management are then suggested.
