TAILIEUCHUNG - Gender, Population, and the Environment: Finding Common Ground for Coastal Managers

The past two hundred years have witnessed two exploding trends: rapid population growth following the decline in mortality due to both the medical revolution and the improvement in living conditions and a steep increase of resource depletion and environmental degradation following the industrial and agricultural revolutions. Both of these trends have accelerated over the past 50 years, fueling the debate on the linkages between population and environment that began 150 years earlier with Malthus’ concern about the capacity of fixed land to feed an exponentially growing population | o iNTERCeAST R INTERNATIONAL NEWSLETTER OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT Coastal Resources Center University of Rhode Island Narragansett Rhode Island USA 41 Winter 2002 Gender Population and the Environment Finding Common Ground for Coastal Managers By Sharon Murray and Macol Stewart Highlights 12 Integrating Population and Coastal Management for Food Security 22 En gendering Climate Forecasts 28 Sex on the Beach and other Secrets that Mother Never Told You about Coastal Tourism Murray A I and After decades of evolving practice most coastal managers have come to realize that their primary endeavor is not the management of a physical place per se but rather of the human beings who inhabit use or otherwise affect its health and sustainability. Increasingly coastal management is equivalent to people management and awareness and expertise regarding the human element and humanenvironment interactions have become crucial skills for coastal professionals. This issue of InterCoast takes a closer look at the intersection of coastal zone management with two particular human development and social science themes population and gender. Population influences have long been linked to the state of the environment reaching back to Malthusian imperatives through the global modeling efforts of the Club of Rome and progressing to recent work on global carrying capacity and ecological footprints. For many people while the term population evokes a narrow association with reproductive health issues and world population growth in fact the field is far broader. Research has shown that ecological outcomes are as much or more significantly affected by non-reproductive demographic dynamics as by sheer numbers of people. Population issues including migration patterns urbanization trends and per capita resource consumption often eclipse fertility and birth rates as the driving factors behind environmental decline. The attention has broadened from a simplistic focus on how many to a much more complex set
