Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM)

Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a comprehensive approach to managing coastal areas that balances environmental, economic, and social factors. It involves coordinating the efforts of various stakeholders — including governments, communities, and businesses — to address issues like coastal erosion, pollution, and habitat loss. By considering the interconnections among land, water, and human activities, ICZM aims to promote sustainable development and protect coastal ecosystems while also supporting livelihoods and recreational opportunities. The goal is to ensure that coastal regions remain healthy and resilient for future generations.
