Coastal areas are among the most dynamic and productive areas of the world and a context for immerse economic and social activities. On the other hand, population growth and development of activities put a lot of pressure on these areas and now coasts face different pollutions and destructions. Iranian coasts are no exception and especially northern coasts have faced different pollutions and land use development much more than their tolerance and strength during last years. Therefore, efforts to correct the dominant procedures and situations began. With the enactment of the fourth development plan (act 63) and its regulation and considering executive mechanisms and executive organization responsibilities, it is possible to organize some of current problems in coasts, and especially northern coasts.
