Collaboration In Planning 



Finally, collaboration by the Federal and 

 State governments and industry in planning 

 marine programs and projects will help to 

 protect and increase the efficiency of indus- 

 try in\'estments. Such planning is needed to 

 minimize conflicts among potentially in- 

 compatible coastal zone uses. For example, 

 stable and uniform water quality standards 

 will prevent unnecessary costs in acting to 

 prevent pollution ; shoreline zoning will help 

 to stabilize the setting for recreation devel- 

 opment, and agreement on shijjping fairways 

 will jjermit recovery of oil and gas in areas 

 which otherwise would not be available. 



The existence of a Government agency 

 specifically charged with aiding the devel- 



opment of marine resources can do much to 

 assure that continued attention is given to 

 maintaining the best climate for private 

 enterprise and permit the accelerated devel- 

 opment of marine resources. 



V. Program Costs 



The expenditures which will be necessary 

 to implement the recommendations made in 

 this chapter are summarized in Table 4-4. 



Substantial increases have been proposed 

 for the management and development of 

 marine fisheries, reflecting the importance 

 which the Commission jjlaces on improved 

 utilization of the ocean's food resources. The 

 estimates for management and technical as- 

 sistance include payments to international 

 fisheries commissions, administration of the
