Physical sensitivity Assessment of the Hormozgan Coastal West Based on Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI)

The coastal zone where sea and limit going each other. By passing of time, not only this common line is fixed but also it move. This border is influenced and changed especially in time of tide orpassing marine storm[1]. todays, 3 out of 1 person live at the distance of 100 kilometer from thesea, 44% of world population reside at distance of 150kilometer from and 2/3 of cities over 2.5 million person had located in coastal zone[2]. This zone is affected by sea and land ecology fromtow side and they have habitats and sensitive marines, mineral source and considerablepromenades and it consider as a firm cover for living activities and transit industry[3].According to of gradual development in economical activities of Hormozgan province, specially in Gas & Petroleum industries, west coast of this province faces to of potential riskof oil pollution threats. So the major goal of this present research is coastal desired management by taking in to account the coastal physical sensitivity assessment against oil pollution.
