Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan (ICZMP)

An Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan (ICZMP) is a strategic approach to managing a country's coastline and nearby waters. It balances environmental health, development, and community needs by coordinating policies across sectors like fishing, tourism, industry, and conservation. The goal is to protect coastal ecosystems, prevent erosion and pollution, and ensure sustainable use of resources. By planning carefully and involving stakeholders, ICZMP helps maintain the coast's ecological and economic vitality for current and future generations.
