The Coastal Management Program offers technical assistance to local governments, property owners, developers, and the public to provide expertise on coastal issues, minimize environmental impacts, clarify regulatory requirements, and identify agency contacts. The Program provides information on Best Management Practices and technical guidance on planning and design as well as information on habitat and endangered species. The Program serves as a liaison among various agencies and institutions and maintains a list of contacts. The Program provides forums for local governments, developers, and citizens to discuss potential resource issues and permit requirements with the appropriate agencies. The goals of technical assistance are to promote sustainable development, to work with local governments to address natural resource issues, and to create a central source of information on coastal management issues.
