Introduction:

Marine ecosystems are facing increasing pressure from coastal tourism activities, which can lead to various negative impacts such as habitat destruction, pollution, and overexploitation of marine resources. In order to mitigate these impacts, marine spatial planning has been recognized as a valuable tool to effectively manage and regulate human activities in marine areas. This thesis aims to evaluate the use of marine spatial planning in mitigating the impacts of coastal tourism on marine ecosystems.

Thesis Overview:

The rapid growth of coastal tourism has put immense pressure on marine ecosystems, leading to various negative impacts such as habitat destruction, pollution, and overexploitation of marine resources. In response to these challenges, marine spatial planning has emerged as a strategic tool to promote sustainable development and conservation of marine environments. This thesis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of marine spatial planning in mitigating the impacts of coastal tourism on marine ecosystems.

The literature review will provide an overview of coastal tourism impacts, the concept of marine spatial planning, and case studies of successful implementation. The research methodology will outline the design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques used in this study. The discussion of findings will analyze the data collected, compare case studies, and highlight stakeholder perspectives on marine spatial planning. The conclusion will summarize key findings, offer policy recommendations, and suggest future research directions.

Overall, this thesis seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on marine spatial planning and its role in sustainable coastal tourism management. By highlighting best practices and lessons learned from case studies, this research aims to inform policymakers, practitioners, and researchers on effective strategies for protecting marine ecosystems from the impacts of coastal tourism.
