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.
