Coastal Adaptation Strategies

Coastal adaptation strategies are methods used to protect communities and ecosystems from the impacts of climate change, especially rising sea levels and increased storm surges. These strategies include building seawalls or levees to block floodwaters, restoring marshes and mangroves to absorb flood energy, changing land use practices, and elevating structures. The goal is to reduce damage, increase resilience, and ensure sustainable coexistence with changing coastal environments by implementing measures that are both effective and environmentally sensitive.
