Integrated Coastal Management Guidelines

Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) guidelines are a set of principles and practices aimed at protecting coastal environments while supporting sustainable development. They promote coordination among different stakeholders, such as governments, communities, and businesses, to manage coastal resources effectively. ICM addresses issues like pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change by encouraging collaborative decision-making, responsible use of resources, and conservation efforts. The goal is to balance ecological health, economic growth, and social equity, ensuring that coastal areas remain vibrant and resilient for current and future generations.
