Coastal Regulations

Coastal regulations are rules that govern how land and structures near the shoreline can be developed and used to protect the environment, ensure safety, and prevent erosion. They set guidelines on building heights, setbacks, and usage to minimize impact on ecosystems and public access. These rules help balance development with conservation, ensuring that coastal areas remain sustainable, safe, and accessible for future generations. They are enforced by government authorities to manage activities like construction, fishing, tourism, and waste disposal along beaches and coastlines.
