Scope
Territorial Plan

The Coastal Management Plan is an integrated territorial plan that emerges as an instrument capable of promoting comprehensive management of coastal territory. It is an effective tool for directing land use with the aim of advancing towards a fairer and more competitive society, but at the same time more committed to sustainability and the landscape. A landscape that needs a new model to continue living in a territory that has experienced, more than any other in Galicia, strong urban pressure in recent decades. Directing these processes and achieving effective coastal protection are some of the most ambitious objectives of this Coastal Management Plan. Alongside these, and at the origin of its methodology and formulation, is the aim to make known its natural and anthropic values. The plan uses the landscape as a tool to approach the territorial reality and at the same time as a project through the characterization of the area and the different landscape units and elements that constitute it. From here, it proposes a logical and relational model.
