Note
The environmental efforts focus on protecting coastal habitats marine protected areas, coastal zoning laws, and beach cleanup programs are crucial for protecting coastal habitats.
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are designated zones where human activities such as fishing or industrial development are restricted, allowing ecosystems to thrive and recover. Coastal zoning laws regulate land use along the coast to prevent harmful activities that can degrade coastal ecosystems, such as unregulated construction or overdevelopment. Beach cleanup programs involve community efforts to remove trash and pollutants from coastal areas, reducing the impact of waste on marine habitats. Together, these environmental initiatives aim to preserve and protect coastal habitats for the benefit of both wildlife and humans.
