A coastal community is a group of people living near the ocean or sea. These communities often rely on marine resources for their livelihoods, including fishing, tourism, and shipping. The unique environment of coastal areas influences the culture, economy, and lifestyle of the residents. Coastal communities face challenges such as rising sea levels, erosion, and climate change. Many work together to protect their environment and promote sustainable practices. Local organizations and governments often collaborate to address these issues, ensuring the well-being of both the community and the surrounding ecosystem, including marine life and beaches.
