Coastal Resource Management

Coastal Resource Management (CRM) involves the sustainable use and protection of coastal areas and their resources, such as fisheries, beaches, and wetlands. It aims to balance environmental health, economic activity, and community needs, addressing issues like pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. By planning and coordinating efforts among various stakeholders—such as governments, businesses, and local communities—CRM seeks to ensure that coastal ecosystems remain vibrant and productive for future generations, while also supporting livelihoods and recreation. Ultimately, it promotes responsible stewardship of our valuable coastal environments.
