UNESCO's World Heritage Sites (Coastal)

UNESCO's World Heritage Sites are landmarks recognized for their outstanding cultural or natural significance. Coastal World Heritage Sites specifically highlight exceptional coastal regions that showcase remarkable beauty, biodiversity, or historical importance. These sites help preserve unique ecosystems, protect marine life, and celebrate coastal cultures. By designating these areas, UNESCO aims to raise awareness about their value, promote conservation efforts, and encourage sustainable tourism. Examples include the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Belize Barrier Reef, both vital for their ecological richness and cultural history, which deserve global recognition and protection.
