sustainable coastal management

Sustainable coastal management involves protecting and maintaining coastal environments while supporting the local communities that depend on them. It balances use and conservation by managing activities like fishing, tourism, and development to prevent damage to ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves, and beaches. The goal is to ensure that natural resources remain healthy and available for future generations, reducing pollution, controlling construction, and promoting habitat restoration. This approach fosters resilient coastlines that can withstand natural and human-made challenges, ultimately blending ecological health with economic and social well-being.
