The report provides the capability to compare, across watersheds in the state, the distribution of several indicators of nonpoint source pollution potential estimated to be in four analysis areas: (1) the existing coastal zone; (2) inland of the coastal zone within an alternative area termed the coastal watershed; (3) inland of the coastal watershed to the state border; and (4) outside the state. Estimating the distribution of each indicator among these four areas established a basis with which to begin the assessment of whether existing state coastal zone boundaries adequately encompass land and water uses that impact coastal water quality. Nineteen reference maps of each coastal state show schematically the major watersheds in each state, the existing coastal zone boundary, and the boundary of the hydrologically defined coastal watershed.
