Ecosystem and human defined boundaries.
Integrated planning, management and coordinating framework allow cross-sectoral, interagency concerns to be addressed.
ICM development and implementing cycle provides a gradual process in managing human use of the goods and services generated by the ecosystems, thus allowing continuous efforts for policy, technological and other management interventions.

• Clearly defined stakeholders whose interests intersect ecosystem at different points.
• Common vision, strategies, action plans provide a long-term, systematic, and ecosystem approach to resource management, thereby ensuring production of goods and services at sustainable level.
ICM Conceptual BoundaryICM Conceptual Boundary
The ICM conceptual boundary encompassing the watershed and the extent of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is also the seaward boundary of most large marine ecosystems (LMEs). Also shown are operational boundaries or the general area of existing management boundaries of most countries which extend from an administrative boundary or high tide line to territorial seas.
