CZMA

Coastal Zone Management Act

Congress enacted the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) PDF (21 KB) (16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.) to protect the coastal environment from growing demands associated with residential, recreational, commercial, and industrial uses (e.g., State and Federal offshore oil and gas development). CZMA provisions help States develop coastal management programs (Programs) to manage and balance competing uses of the coastal zone.
