As stated Bangladesh is a large delta and faces many coastal issues. To create the Delta Plan adaptive delta management principles were applied. These principles are<ref>https://edepot.wur.nl/508029</ref>.
'''1. Holistic analysis of challenges and knowledge gaps in relation to multisectoral planning'''
'''2. Considering main external trends and drivers and related uncertainties'''
'''3. Connecting short term action / investments with long term vision and higher level policies '''
'''4. Elaborating alternative adaptation pathways (and checking for possible tipping points)'''
'''5. Avoiding over and under investment'''
'''6. Connecting public and private (investment) agenda’s'''
'''7. Developing institutional framework for the mainstreaming of the Bangladesh Delta plan'''
The principles of Adaptive Delta management directly apply to Integrated Coastal Zone Management. The use of a long term vision allows for a clear point on the horizon. Furthermore scenario-planning makes sure that different possibilities related to uncertainties are accounted for, making sure there are no over or under investments. Also to implement the Bangladesh Delta Plan capacity development was needed in several fields: The administrative capacity, connective and organization capacity, knowledge and learning capacity, funding capacity and natural system adaptive capacity. These principles were also applied to the Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Central Java project.
The ultimate objective of the ICZM Protocol is to contribute to the vision for the Mediterranean Sea and coast as: “A healthy Mediterranean with marine and coastal ecosystems that
are productive and biologically diverse, contributing to sustainable development for the benefit of present and future generations”. (<ref>UNEP/MAP Mid-Term Strategy 2016-2021)</ref>.
The strength of the Protocol is both in the scope and the legal implications: the Protocol includes land-sea interactions like pollution on land as long as this pollution reaches the sea
