The National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, has the following vision and mission that would aid in the better protection, conservation, rehabilitation, management and policy design of the coast. It would promote integrated and sustainable management of coastal and marine areas in India and advise the Union and States/ Union Territory Governments and other associated stakeholders on policy, and scientific matters relating to Integrated Coastal Management (ICZM)
Vision
Promote sustainable coasts through increased partnerships, conservation practices, scientific research and knowledge management for the benefit and well being of current and future generations.
Mission
Support integrated management of coastal and marine environment for livelihood security, sustainable development and hazard risk management by enhancing Ÿ KnowledgeŸ Research and advisory supportŸ Partnerships and networkŸ Coastal community interface
Consortium Partner Institutions
Fourteen institutions from coastal states have formed a consortium with stNCSCM and signed the Anna University Declaration on 21 June 2010
