Coastal Protection Master Plan (CPMP)

4/27/2020

0 Comments

 

KEY OBJECTIVE

Is to create the long term health and cooperation necessary for long term survivability of sensitive coastal and marine areas around the world.

The Goal

To balance human social, economic and recreational needs with the coastal planning while creating long term protection of threatened, endangered species and the habitats that they rely upon.

​Although the plants and animals that inhabit the coastline have adapted to a dynamic environment, they are nonetheless vulnerable to human disturbance, particularly disturbances impacting the quality and/or quantity of available habitat. Thus, as coastal populations and shoreline development continue to expand, there will be an increasing need to balance human requirements with natural resource protection. It is against this backdrop that 
the WFCRC has embarked on the development of the Coastal Protection Master Plan (CPMP).

Benefits Highlights

  1. Disaster and 1st response overall operational picture of
    coastal areas utilizing UAV and other remotely sensed
    imagery.
  2. ​Long term base line monitoring of coral and beach decline.
  3. ​Coral reef area accounting in sq. hectares, health, and decline.
  4. ​Coral adoption programs.
  5. ​Identifying coral and mangrove health, decline and re plant areas.
  6. ​Beach erosion/maintenance, sediment and storm water runoff, beach raking and debris removal.
  7. ​Sediment/turbidity threats to coral reef
  8. Adoption of a segment of coast line
  9. Geo-political boundaries
  10. Land and Ownership ID and Issues
  11. Frame work to develop local public awareness, hold town hall meeting and public workshops and to continue its on-going outreach programs.
  12. ​With certain criteria being met there is considerable latitude for flexibility and creativity. Consequently, stakeholder participation is not only desirable but essential to the success of any coral and/or coastal conservation.
