Therefore, it is critical to undertake coastal sustainable development; according to Cheng et al, [65], to find a good balance between coastal reclamation, economic development, and environmental protection, (1) coastal reclamation planning must consider both economic and environmental outcomes; (2) environmental flaws in existing coastal reclamation projects must be addressed; and (3) the legal system governing coastal reclamation must be refined and strengthened.…”

However, sometimes in making decisions, the public interest is ignored because it complies with investors and focuses more on financial benefits [28], thereby neglecting ecological sustainability and local wisdom.…”
