 economic value of coastal marshes is in the final stages of 

 preparation. 



Florida 



Florida's Department of Natural Resources has been awarded 

 funds by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 

 (NOAA) for multi-year study of coastal zone planning and 

 onshore impacts of OCS development (U.S. Department of Commerce, 

 1975c). These funds are being administered by the Department's 

 Bureau of Coastal Zone Planning, which is currently (1977) 

 preparing: a) an inventory and analysis of OCS information 

 relevant to Florida, b) mapping of biological elements of 

 sites likely to be OCS onshore sites, c) socio economic 

 analysis of selected areas, and d) inventory and analysis of 

 laws applicable to controlling OCS development. Under contract 

 from the State, regional planning councils are preparing all 

 or most of the environment quality analysis, identification 

 of areas of particular concern, and inventory of local and 

 regional ordinances and regulations affecting the coastal 

 zone. 



With information gathered by the Bureau of Coastal Zone 

 Planning, the Department of Natural Resources has prepared a 

 "Coastal Zone Atlas of Florida;" the Division of State Plan- 

 ning has compiled a "Soil Atlas;" and the Department of 

 Transportation has prepared a "Wetlands Survey."
