Essential Question
• How are coastal zones used by humans?
• What is the importance of coastal zones to the local and global community?
• How are populations distributed around coastal zones locally, nationally, and globally?

What is the importance of coastal zones to the local and global
community?

• coastal zones produce diverse and productive ecosystems which have been of great importance historically for human populations – 90% of the world’s fish harvest comes from
within national exclusive economic zones, most of which are within the sight of shore

globally?

Canada
• 2001 - 11.5 million people (38.3% of the Canadian population) lived within 20 km of a coast
• Canada has a higher percentage of its population living within 20 km of the coast than globally, and this is increasing at a rate faster than that of the global coastal population.
• It is predicted that by 2015, >50% of Canadians will live within 20 km of a coast

Globally
• 1990 - 1.13 billion people lived within 20 km of a coast
• 2000 - 1.30 billion people lived within 20 km of a coast– By 2015, the coastal population is expected
to reach approximately 1.6 billion people
• 2003 - approximately 3 billion people — about half of the world's population — live within 200 kilometers of a coastline. – By 2025, that figure is likely to double
