Coastal Heritage
Coastal heritage refers to the cultural, historical, and natural significance of coastal areas. It encompasses the traditions, practices, and lifestyles of communities living near the sea, as well as the unique ecosystems found in these regions. Coastal heritage often includes the preservation of historic lighthouses, fishing villages, and marine biodiversity.
This heritage is vital for understanding the relationship between people and the ocean. It highlights the importance of sustainable practices to protect coastal environments and the livelihoods of those who depend on them. Efforts to maintain coastal heritage often involve conservation programs and community engagement initiatives.
