About Us

Welcome to GIS-Coastal

We are a foundation dedicated to the protecting, conserving, and sustainably managing coastal and marine resources. With a strong commitment to preserving these invaluable ecosystems, we aim to ensure their long-term viability for present and future generations. 

Through collaborative initiatives, we promote public awareness, advocate for sustainable practices, and engage with communities and stakeholders to foster a shared responsibility in safeguarding coastal and marine environments.

Why Coastal Resource Management Matters

Coastal areas are vital and diverse ecosystems that offer a wealth of benefits to both human communities and the environment. They support a diverse range of marine life, act as natural defenses against storms and erosion, and provide abundant recreational opportunities. Despite their significance, these fragile ecosystems face numerous challenges that threaten their long-term health and sustainability. Effective coastal resource management is crucial to preserving these invaluable ecosystems for future generations.

Addressing Habitat Destruction

Coastal development, pollution, and unsustainable fishing practices contribute significantly to the degradation and loss of critical coastal habitats such as mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass beds. This destruction has far-reaching consequences, impacting biodiversity and disrupting ecosystem balance. We are committed to combating these threats through proactive conservation efforts, promoting sustainable practices, and advocating for the protection and restoration of coastal ecosystems worldwide.

Addressing Climate Change Impacts

Rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and more frequent extreme weather events pose significant threats to coastal areas. These changes can lead to coastal erosion, habitat loss, and disruption of delicate ecosystems. Our mission is to tackle these challenges through proactive measures, advocating for resilient coastal management strategies, and fostering community resilience.

Addressing Overfishing and Unsustainable Practices

Overexploitation of fish stocks, destructive fishing methods, and inadequate fisheries management lead to the depletion of marine resources, threatening the livelihoods of coastal communities and compromising the ecological balance of marine ecosystems. Our mission is to promote sustainable fishing practices, advocate for responsible fisheries management, and support community-based conservation initiatives. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders and raising awareness about the importance of marine resource conservation, we aim to ensure sustainable fisheries for future generations.

Addressing Pollution and Marine Debris

Contamination from industrial runoff, improper waste disposal, and plastic pollution endangers coastal ecosystems. Marine debris poses a severe threat to marine life, causing entanglement and ingestion issues. Our mission is to combat these threats through rigorous pollution prevention measures, promoting sustainable waste management practices, and advocating for policies that reduce plastic use and improve recycling.

Our Service

Environmental Assessment and Monitoring

We offer comprehensive assessment of coastal environmental conditions and provide continuous monitoring services. Our monitoring programs provides ongoing insights into the changing dynamics of coastal ecosystems, enabling informed decision-making and effective management strategies.

Conservation Planning and Management

We specialize in developing conservation plans and implementing effective management strategies for coastal and marine environments. Our goal is to strike a balance between the needs of human development and the ecological preservation.

Training and Education

Through our training and education programs, we empower communities, stakeholders, and professionals with the tools and knowledge to understand and address the challenges facing coastal ecosystem.

VISION

To be a globally recognized consulting foundation in providing innovative and sustainable solutions for the conservation of coastal and marine resources, preserving biodiversity, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of coastal and marine ecosystem for a better future.
