Abstract Long Description

The state of Washington, through the Department of Ecology, participates in the federal Coastal Zone Management Program, which encourages states to adopt their own management programs in order to meet the goals of protection, restoration, and appropriate development of coastal zone resources. Participating states are required to describe their coastal zone management programs and submit those descriptive documents to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for approval. NOAA approved Washington′s original Coastal Zone Management Program (WCZMP) document in 1976.

This revised version of Washington′s Coastal Zone Management Program document was approved by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in February, 2001.
