Heikoff, J M

This study examines the 1972 Coastal Zone Management Act and the different ways in which three states--Maine, Rhode Island, and Washington--have tried to implement it. Special attention is paid to state agency structures, state supervision of local land-use regulation, the integration of resources management in the coastal zone and statewide, and public participation in program development. Persons in public administration will be interested in the details of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act and the three state programs described. Environmental organizations will appreciate the discussion of Federal and state efforts to conserve coastal resources, while urban and regional planners will find the discussions on resources analysis and planning valuable. Government agency officials will be interested in descriptions of how various aspects of coastal resources management are integrated to protect wildlife and recreation areas, and to guide controlled economic development.
