The Integrated Coastl Zone Management (iczm) it is a strategy used in many countries to address the challenges and opportunities associated with coastal area management. Haiti, as a Caribbean country, faces challenges in managing its coastal zones due to vulnerability to extreme weather events, coastal erosion, degradation of coastal ecosystems and other problems. However, effective implementation of this strategy requires a coordinated approach and overcoming significant challenges. The purposeful diagnosis of the administrative-legal subsystem related to Integrated Coastal Management (icm) in Haiti is a crucial tool to identify areas of improvement in the management of the country’s coastal spaces. Through the Decalogue used by the Ibero-American Integrated Coastal Management Network (red ibermar), key aspects that influence the effectiveness of the icm in Haiti can be analyzed. By addressing these key aspects, the country can move towards a more effective and sustainable approach to Integrated Coastal Management for the benefit of its coastal communities and the protection of its marine and coastal resources. Keywords: Haití, comprehensive diagnosis, coastal management, Management Decalogue.
