Description
Congress enacted the Coastal Zone Management Act in 1972 to balance the often competing demands for economic growth and development with the need to protect coastal resources. To accomplish the goals of the act, Congress established a framework for a voluntary federal and state coastal management partnership, the CZMP. The CZMP represents a unique federal-state partnership for protecting, restoring, and responsibly developing the nation's coastal communities and resources, according to program documents.
