This from Ros (@rosalynkilcollins)
NOAA’s Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management has released “Protecting the Public Interest through the National Coastal Zone Management Program: How Coastal States and Territories Use No-Build Areas along Ocean and Great Lake Shorefronts.” A copy is attached and can be accessed online at http://coastalmanagement.noaa.gov/issues/hazards_activities.html.
The purpose of the report is to help better understand and communicate how state and territorial coastal management programs manage ocean and Great Lake shorefront development. It looks specifically at where states and territories employ shorefront no-build areas (e.g., through setbacks, rolling easements, or zoning), typically on dry, privately owned land, to protect the public interest. -
