restore and enhance the resources of the coastal zone. The CZMA created a voluntary partnership between NOAA and the states. The product of this partnership is a coastal management program. The CZMA encourages states to develop and implement comprehensive, coastal land and water use planning and management programs. Office for Coastal Key Points
The CZMA was enacted 1972 to preserve, KeyinPoints 1 territories, and commonwealths are implementing a federally approved coastal management program approved by the Secretary of Commerce. The CZMA establishes a system of estuarine reserves called the National Estuarine Research Reserve System to enhance public awareness
and understanding of estuarine areas, opportunities for public education, and for research to support the protection of these areas. There are 29 research reserves. Office for Coastal Key Points Currently 34 of theKey 35 eligible states, 2 U.S. Points

These include protecting natural resources managing development in high hazard areas giving development priority to coastaldependent uses providing public access for recreation improving coastal water quality coordinating state and federal actions involving the public Office for Coastal Key Points
The CZMA includesKey a number of goals3for coastal Points Coastal management programs are critical to achieving the national goals of the CZMA and form the foundation of a National Coastal Zone Management Program.
The CZMA authorizes funding to develop, implement, and enhance state-focused programs. The CZMA provides flexibility to the states to design programs that best address local challenges and work within state and local laws and regulations, while also implementing the legislations requirements, such as identifying coastal zone boundaries and enforceable policies for managing land and water uses.

Key Points Key Points 4 Under the CZMA states can ensure that federal actions that affect state coastal uses or resources (regardless of the location of the activity) are consistent with their approved program. The CZMA requires an ongoing review of the state program to ensure it is being implemented as approved, is addressing priority goals of the CZMA, and that funding use is consistent with the rules.
The Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program ensures that participating states have the necessary tools to prevent and control polluted runoff. Office for Coastal Key Points Key Points 5 The CZMA establishes the Coastal Zone Enhancement Program, providing incentives to enhance the state program in nine areas:
wetlands, coastal hazards, public access, marine debris, cumulative and secondary impacts, special area management planning, ocean and Great Lakes resources, energy and government facility siting, and aquaculture.
