MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Coastal environments, as complex systems, are a valuable natural setting where intense economic activities take place. Their environmental values have been extensively researched due to their importance in maintaining high environmental quality. This discussion paper aims to promote the concept of fishing tourism as a strategy for preserving the safety and health of coastal environments. To this end, we present a conceptual framework outlining the content and benefits of fishing tourism within sustainable coastal zone management. This framework offers practical implications that can be applied to coastal settings in various countries. It is crucial to strike a balance between economic gains and environmental protection to ensure sustainable growth. This balance is basic to reaping benefits at the interface of nature and the economy, and effective environmental management and robust sectoral tourism policies are instrumental in achieving it.
