Public Outreach

Public outreach is one of the coastal goals outlined in N.J.A.C. 7:7E-1.1(c). The coastal goals express results that the Coastal Management Program strives to attain. Each goal is supplemented by related policies that set forth the means to realize that goal. The Coastal Zone Management rules, including the coastal goals and policies set forth below, are enforceable policies of New Jersey’s Coastal Management Program as approved under the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1450)
