Regulation 30-21 beachfront management plan

Abstract

The South Carolina Beachfront Management Act is a regulatory framework that emphasizes the use of scientific research to establish accurate coastal building setback lines. The primary goal of this law is to safeguard human lives, property, and unique coastal habitats and ensure public access to the beach while promoting economic benefits. Critical aspects of the regulation are preserving dry-sand beaches, beach renourishment, protecting natural vegetation, and requiring local governments to adopt beachfront management plans.
