Integrated Marine and Coastal Area Management

Integrated Marine and Coastal Area Management (IMCAM) is a strategic approach to sustainably managing shared ocean and coastline resources. It involves coordinating policies, activities, and stakeholders to balance environmental health, economic development, and community needs. By considering the entire ecosystem and human use together, IMCAM aims to prevent conflicts, protect biodiversity, and ensure the long-term productivity of our marine and coastal areas. This holistic approach promotes responsible use and conservation, helping to ensure these vital environments remain healthy and resilient for future generations.
