Spatial planning forums need to be activated in the regions as a means of coordination and solutions to problems of spatial use in coastal areas and small islands. The granting of marine land rights needs to be reconsidered in its implementation. Coastal areas should remain public spaces whose utilization is controlled by the state. The granting of rights to the community (customary, traditional, and local) requires strict consideration, such as compatibility with spatial planning, and the existence of hereditary mastery.
