Plis pase XNMX milya moun (XNIMX% nan popilasyon mondyal la) ap viv nan km 2.5 nan kòt la,ref ajoute plis presyon sou ekosistèm kotyè yo. Devlopman kotyè ki lye avèk koloni imen, endistri, akwakilti, ak enfrastrikti ka lakòz gwo enpak sou ekosistèm tou pre rivaj yo, patikilyèman resif koray yo. Enpak devlopman kotyè yo ka dirèk (eg, ranpli peyi, dragaj, min koray ak sab pou konstriksyon) oswa endirèk (egzanp, ekoulman ogmante nan sediman ak polyan).

More than 2.5 billion people (40% of the world’s population) live within 100 km of the coast,ref adding increased pressure to coastal ecosystems. Coastal development linked to human settlements, industry, aquaculture, and infrastructure can cause severe impacts on near shore ecosystems, particularly coral reefs. Coastal development impacts may be direct (e.g., land filling, dredging, coral and sand mining for construction) or indirect (e.g., increased runoff of sediment and pollutants).
