Sustainable Coastal Communities

Sustainable Coastal Communities are areas that develop and manage their resources responsibly to support both residents and the environment over the long term. This involves balancing economic growth, like fishing and tourism, with protecting natural habitats and water quality. By promoting practices that reduce pollution, conserve wildlife, and adapt to climate change—such as rising sea levels—they aim to ensure these coastal areas remain healthy, livable, and resilient for future generations. Essentially, it's about creating communities that thrive economically and socially while preserving their natural coastal ecosystems.
