Coastal Management Programs

Coastal Management Programs are organized efforts by governments and communities to protect, preserve, and sustainably develop coastal areas. They involve planning and implementing practices to manage erosion, flooding, habitat loss, and human activities like development and tourism. The goal is to balance economic growth with environmental health, ensuring that coastlines remain safe, functional, and resilient for future generations. These programs often include regulations, conservation projects, and community engagement to address the unique challenges facing each coastal region.
