| Abstract |
Coastal disasters are increasing and one important cause which is being underplayed under a powerful climate change lobby is overconsumption along the coasts both of land and sea resources. Fish and other sea animals, coastal vegetation and plankton are fast depleting, which is leading to reduced carbon sequestration which can withstand sea level rise and counter negative climate impacts. The laws and policies along the coasts are expected to develop a zero tolerance policy toward overuse of coastal ecosystems and to generate sustainable systems, which is the only solution at hand that involves coastal communities. |
