New Jersey Coastal Management Program Section 309 Assessment & Strategy for comment
In accordance with the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, New Jersey is required to assess nine issue areas of its Coastal Management Program every five years and provide a strategy for program enhancements in one or more of the issue areas. These areas are aquaculture, coastal hazards, cumulative and secondary impacts, energy and government facility siting, marine debris, ocean resources, public access, special area management planning, wetlands.

The Coastal Management Program engaged stakeholders to gather input on assessments and to provide input to the strategies proposed.
