Coastal Zone Act

The Coastal Zone Act is a law that aims to protect and preserve coastal areas, which are regions near oceans or seas. It sets guidelines and regulations to manage development, prevent environmental damage, and ensure sustainable use of these sensitive areas. The act helps balance economic activities like fishing, tourism, and shipping with the need to conserve ecosystems such as beaches, dunes, and wetlands. By doing so, it promotes the health of coastal environments while supporting communities that depend on them. Overall, the act helps maintain the natural beauty and ecological integrity of coastal zones for future generations.
