State Ocean Management Plans and Policies: Synthesis Report
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management
Abstract
Coastal states have management authority over living and nonliving marine resources in nearshore waters (usually within three nautical miles of the shoreline). Activities that may impact marine resources in this area, from sand mining to oil and gas exploration, often fall within the scope of state coastal zone management programs authorized under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act. State coastal programs have employed a variety of approaches to plan for and manage ocean resources. The objectives of this report are to clarify other states’ experiences in ocean management to support the potential development of an ocean management plan for South Carolina.
