Ocean and Coastal Resource Management

Ocean and Coastal Resource Management involves the effective stewardship of marine and coastal environments to ensure their health, sustainability, and accessibility for current and future generations. It encompasses various activities, including regulating fishing, protecting habitats, managing tourism, and addressing pollution. By balancing ecological health with economic development, this field aims to conserve biodiversity, support local communities, and mitigate impacts from climate change and human activities. Proper management helps maintain the vital services oceans and coasts provide, such as clean water, food resources, and recreational opportunities.
