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.

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.
Mission
Habitat Destruction
Coastal development, pollution, and unsustainable fishing practices contribute to the degradation and loss of critical coastal habitats such as mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass beds. This destruction has far-reaching consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem balance.
Climate Change Impacts
Rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and more frequent extreme weather events pose significant threats to coastal areas. These changes can result in coastal erosion, habitat loss, and disruption of delicate ecosystems.
Overfishing & Unsustainable Practices
Overexploitation of fish stocks, destructive fishing methods, and inadequate fisheries management lead to the depletion of marine resources. This threatens the livelihoods of coastal communities and compromises the ecological balance of the marine ecosystem.
Pollution and Marine Debris
Contamination from industrial runoff, improper waste disposal, and plastic pollution endanger coastal ecosystems. Marine debris poses a severe threat to marine life, causing entanglement and ingestion issues.
