this study explores conflicts stemming from the intersection of cultural practices, beliefs, and international human rights standards within coastal communities.through rigorous focus group discussions, it examines the interplay between culture and human rights, identifying colonial legacies, economic disparities, and environmental challenges as primary sources of tension.concrete examples, such as disputes over fishing access and clashes with regulatory frameworks, underscore the pressing need for resolution.emphasising the importance of inclusive approaches, the study advocates for strategies that honour cultural diversity while upholding universal human rights principles.it calls for comprehensive measures, including community dialogue, cultural sensitivity training, and the integration of customary laws, alongside education and awareness initiatives and effective policy implementation.additionally, the study recommends the establishment of robust mediation mechanisms and partnerships with local and international stakeholders to facilitate conflict resolution and capacity-building efforts.through collaborative efforts with coastal communities, these actions pave the way for a more equitable, inclusive, and rights-respecting future
