More people at coasts and beaches
In summer, many people are drawn to the sea. Tourism brings economic benefits but can also be a burden on sensitive coastal ecosystems.
Pressure on the environment and habitats
More visitors often mean more waste, noise, and increased use of beaches and marine areas. Particularly sensitive habitats such as dunes, seagrass meadows, or coral reefs can suffer as a result.
Sustainable tourism as a solution
Responsible behavior can help reduce the impacts. This includes waste avoidance, respectful interaction with nature, and supporting sustainable offerings locally.
