Estuarine Management Plan

An Estuarine Management Plan is a strategic guide designed to protect and sustainably manage estuaries, which are where freshwater from rivers meets saltwater from the sea. These areas are crucial for biodiversity, fishing, recreation, and flood management. The plan typically outlines steps to balance environmental health, economic interests, and community needs, addressing issues like pollution, habitat restoration, and development. By involving stakeholders such as local governments, businesses, and residents, the plan aims to preserve the estuarine ecosystem while supporting the livelihoods and lifestyles dependent on these vital interfaces between land and sea.
