Overcoming governance and institutional barriers to integrated coastal zone, marine protected area, and tourism management in Sri Lanka [1]

One of the major barriers to addressing complex social–ecological issues through integrated coastal management (ICM) is a lack of intergovernmental coordination and cooperation (horizontal and vertical fragmentation).
