Abstract:

There are 4,000 miles of estuarine shoreline in the state. Over the past twenty years, homesites, construction, and farming have increased along it, prompting concern about water quality, wildlife habitats, and erosion. The Division of Coastal Management is reviewing building regulations of the past decades to determine if revising them would alleviate these problems.
