Abstract: As an important way to achieve sustainable development goals in coastal areas, the integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is of great significance to the scientific and effective utilization of coastal resources in coastal areas. This paper analyzes the current situation of ICZM in China from the national, provincial and municipal levels, and puts forward the problems existing in the system of ICZM, such as the unclear ownership of coastal zone management, the poor ability to balance land and sea planning, the inadequate coastal zone planning and evaluation, the undeveloped coastal zone management technologies, and the unsystematic coastal zone data. Based on the experiences and practices of ICZM in China, the measures and suggestions for further improvement of ICZM system are proposed in the aspects of accelerating coastal zone legislation, improving coastal zone planning, coordinating integrated management, taking into account land-sea coordination, improving management technologies, strengthening management effect evaluation and consolidating basic information, so as to provide reference for further improvement of ICZM in China.
