Abstract We develop a systematic approach for evaluating the trade-offs between different policies governing coastal land and sea area uses under an integrated coastal management (ICM) programme. The analytical framework includes multiple marine industry sectors (e.g., port, shipping and coastal tourism) as well as social and environmental sectors (e.g., employment and ecosystem services). The net benefit measure captures social, economic and environmental effects. We apply our analytical model to Xiamen, China, using empirical data from 2011 to 2015. Results of the case study show that the implementation of land and sea use policies under the ICM framework has led to a significant increase (over 7%) in annual net benefit. Thus, the Xiamen ICM programme has improved the efficiency of marine resource use. As an adaptive management approach, the introduction of revised marine function zoning scheme under an ICM framework may help to achieve sustainable development.
