CHAPTER IV
Results & Discussion
53
Ports Dredging and Channelization have the potential to disturb the natural movement of
sediment and modify the shape of the coastal area, resulting in shifts in water currents,
erosion, and patterns of sediment deposition.
The growth and development of tourism areas in coastal regions present a risk to the wellbeing of the coastal environment such as coastal habitats like dunes, mangroves, and coral
reefs. This habitat loss not only results in the decline of biodiversity but also disrupts vital
ecological processes.
