Due to their territorial specificities, the studies and research that support them concentrate on the characteristics, potentialities and conflicts of the coastal areas. However, there are great possibilities for the improvement of this discipline, by the approximation with the references, principles and methodologies used in Permaculture, a discipline designed and applied for the sustainability of architectural arrangements and agroforestry productive processes. Both disciplines are based on a set of references, based on ecological structures and processes (Systems Theory) and the development of management systems of territories and natural resources, integrating the different approaches, with a view to sustainability (Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Comanagement of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Based Management). The convergences and similarities between both disciplines can contribute to its success, as well as its main differences: while Integrated Coastal Management predominantly acts on a regional, national or international scale, in the technical and political field, promoting the socio-environmental management process of spaces and coastal resources, Permaculture focuses on the local or regional scale, on daily praxis, promoting direct management interventions, food production, energy generation, alternatives to the circulation of products and services. Thus, we understand as pertinent, salutary and growing the tendency to approach “integrated management of coastal areas” and “permaculture”, as an effort directed at the use and conservation of ecosystem services provided by coastal spaces and resources. %K Integrated Coastal Management %K Permaculture %K convergences %K Gestão Costeira Integrada; Permacultura; convergências %K Gestão Costeira Integrada %K Permacultura %K convergências %~ Universidad de Cádiz
