This study aims at underlining the socio-economic opportunities and environmental and/orecological limitations of coastal zones in the Mediterranean Region. Acquiring and sharing reliable and usable data for the regional studies of multinational character may be the most difficult aspects in coastal zone management. Attempts must be made to collect, combine and harmonize the scattered data so that a kind of information system can be created. Such a system is expected to cover researchers, local and central authorities, multinational bodies, NGOs, commercial companies, relevant sectors, public representatives etc. Rich resources, highly complex ecological systems, biodiversity, socio-economic differences and cultural patterns of the Mediterranean Coastal Zone require a delicate, scientific and socio-economic approach. In this study, the above-mentioned facts are tested on a part of the Aegean coast segment so that the distinctions and contradictions between development and management can be understood.
