coastal areas

Coastal areas need protective policies

Much before climate change became a big issue, several studies had documented that nonmechanized traditional fishing communities were suffering a loss of livelihood due to the steady advance of mechanised and capital-intensive fishing.

The coast supports a wide variety of marine flora and fauna that coastal communities rely on for their livelihood. The degradation of these ecosystems leaves these areas susceptible to natural disasters that can have long term effects on the sustainability and growth of coastal communities.
