Coastal Planning

Coastal Planning

Our nation’s coastline is a vital source of national wealth and pride and many Belizeans depend on it for its numerous resources. Evidently, there may be conflicting interests for the different sectors that use the coastal zone which is why Integrated Coastal Zone Management is necessary for Belize. Coastal planning is the process used to make better decisions about the use of the coastal zone. It allows for consideration of many different uses of the coastal zone at once which allows for better decisions about uses and reduces potential conflicts that may arise from overlapping sectors.
