Integrated Coastal Management Plan

An Integrated Coastal Management Plan is a comprehensive strategy that promotes sustainable use and protection of coastal areas. It involves coordinating efforts across different sectors—like fishing, tourism, conservation, and development—to balance economic benefits with environmental health. The goal is to minimize harm from activities such as pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction, ensuring that coasts remain healthy and productive for future generations. This plan encourages collaboration among government agencies, communities, and stakeholders to make informed decisions that protect coastal ecosystems while supporting local livelihoods.
