This book presents "An Integrated Methodological Framework for Spatial Planning and Environmental Management of Coastal Wetlands" to achieve sustainability. However, it represents the main parts andscientific contribution of academic research on which the author got PhD at the University of Liverpool with a high recommendation for publication. So, this book, in your hands, could be a good reference not only fortopics of wetlands, coastal areas, environmental management, and spatial planning BUT also for building novel methodological frameworks in related fields. Its novel methodology was discussed stage by stage, and supported with enough evidence, until forming the complete image. It does not stop at this point BUT its applicability was explored through a rich study of the Egyptian coastal wetlands. This research work was awarded for excellence in academic studies and participated in two international conferences: Planet Under Pressure in London in 2012; and the 2nd European Conference in Sustainabilityand Environment in Brighton in 2014. Also, this work added enough records to the author to be officially nominated for RAMSAR's international scientific research Prize in 2012.
