National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Evaluation of State Coastal Management Programs and National
Estuarine Research Reserves
AGENCY: Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Ocean
Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), DOC.
ACTION: Notice of availability of evaluation findings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the availability of the final
evaluation findings for Alabama, California, Connecticut, Mississippi,
Maine, and New Hampshire Coastal Management Programs, and Narragansett
Bay (Rhode Island), Rookery Bay (Florida), Chesapeake Bay (Maryland),
and North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR). Section
312 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), as amended,
requires a continuing review of the performance of coastal states with
respect to coastal management and the operation and management of
NERRs.
The states of Alabama, California, Connecticut, Maine and New
Hampshire were found to be implementing and enforcing their Federally
approved coastal management program, addressing the national coastal
management objective identified in CZMA section 303(2)(A)-(K), and
adhering to the programmatic terms of their financial assistance
awards. The State of Mississippi was found not fully adhering to its
approved coastal management program. Implementation of several
recommendations listed in the findings will bring Mississippi's program
back into satisfactory adherence. North Carolina, Narragansett Bay,
Rookery Bay, and Chesapeake Bay, MD NERRs were found to be
satisfactorily adhering to programmatic requirement of the NERR system.
Copies of these final evaluation findings may be obtained upon
request from: Vickie Allin, Chief, Policy Coordination Division, Office
of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, NOS/NOAA, 1305 East-West
Highway, 11th Floor, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 (301) 713-3087.
