Initially, natural coastal environments emerge, characterized by pristine beaches and thriving habitats untouched by human influence. Over time, urbanization creeps in, altering the landscape with concrete structures and pollution. As human activity increases, challenges such as habitat destruction and pollution escalate, threatening the delicate balance of coastal ecosystems. However, in response to these challenges, conservation efforts gain momentum, aiming to restore and protect natural habitats. Simultaneously, sustainable practices emerge in urbanized coastal areas, striving to mitigate the negative impacts of human development. By understanding this chronological progression, we can appreciate the complexity of coastal ecosystems and the importance of preserving their natural beauty and biodiversity for future generations.
