Coastal zone management arose as a response to pervasive conflict between the increasingly well-recognized environmental values of the coastal zone and various development activities. In enacting the 1972 federal Coastal Zone Management Act, Congress explicitly called for a balancing of developmental and environmental concerns, leaving the states and territories considerable leeway in how the balance would be struck. The result has been great variation among the states both in the methods of weighing environmental and developmental objectives and in the emphasis given to each in implementation. 62 references.
