- Abstract: This thesis explores the unique role of beaches as land-sea connecting areas and examines how to sustainably manage them through Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), Typology Classification and Systematic Conservation Planning, all informed by Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) principles and elements. Serving essential ecological and social functions, beaches are selected from cohesive strategies for effective management. In Chapter 1, a review of international case studies on MSP reveals that while MSP presents a more organized way of governing marine and coastal areas, beaches are often neglected and managed separately. This chapter highlights the importance of EBM principlessuch as resilience and cross-border integrationin making beach management more flexible and adaptable to the impacts of climate change. It concludes that a more integrated governance model is needed to effectively connect land-sea management within MSP. Chapter 2 delves deeper into the classification of beaches through typologies, which are categorized based on physical characteristics, biodiversity, and use. The creation of these categories allows for more tailored management that reflects the unique role, value, and vocation of each beach. This approach aligns with EBM to balance ecological, social, and economic needs and assists in defining intersectoral policies. The chapter shows that typologies are useful tools for managing beaches in a way that preserves their natural benefits while meeting local needs. Chapter 3 examines how Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) can be used to assess beach health, prioritize areas for conservation, and guide sustainable use. Through a case study on the coast of São Paulo, SCP uses data to identify areas that require protection, restoration, or management, considering factors such as urbanization and beach type. (Continue)(Continuation) This approach supports balanced management by showing how different factors influence the selection of priority areas for conservation. In conclusion, the thesis that combines different holistic strategies integrated with EBM offers a strong model for beach management. This integrated approach not only supports ecological resilience and meets local socioeconomic needs, but also addresses the unique challenges of managing these dynamic coastal areas.
