National Coastal Zone Management Program (NCZMP)

The National Coastal Zone Management Program (NCZMP) is a framework established by the Indian government to protect, manage, and sustainably develop India’s coastal regions. It aims to balance economic growth, environmental conservation, and community needs by involving state governments in planning and implementing policies. The program addresses issues like coastal erosion, habitat preservation, pollution, and sustainable fishing, ensuring that coastal areas remain productive and resilient for future generations. Through coordinated efforts, NCZMP promotes responsible development while safeguarding the ecological and socio-economic integrity of India’s diverse and valuable coastal zones.
