ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management)

Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a strategic approach to managing coastal resources and environments. It aims to balance economic development, environmental protection, and social equity in coastal areas. By integrating various sectors—like tourism, fishing, and conservation—ICZM helps stakeholders cooperate and make decisions that benefit both the community and the ecosystem. This holistic management seeks to address challenges like climate change, habitat loss, and pollution, ensuring sustainable use of coastal resources for current and future generations while preserving the unique characteristics of coastal environments.
