"SHOBT TITLE 



"Sec. 301. This title may be cited as the 'Coastal Zone Management Act 

 of 1970'. 



"findings of fact 



, "Sec. 302. The Congress finds— 



"(a) That the welfare of American society now demands that manmade laws 

 be extended to regulate the impact of man on the biophysical environment. 



"(b) That there is a national interest in the effective management, beneficial 

 use, proper protection, and balanced development of the air, land, and marine 

 resources of the Nation's coastal zone. 



"(c) That the coastal zone is rich in a variety of natural, commercial, recrea- 

 tional, industrial, and esthetic resources of immediate and potential value to 

 the present and future development of our Nation. 



"(d) That the increasing and conflicting demands, particularly those occa- 

 sioned by the rise in population, on the finite resources of the coastal zone have 

 resulted in the loss of fish, wildlife, and nutrient rich areas, permanent and ad- 

 verse ecological changes, decreasing open space for public use, and shoreline 

 erosion. 



"(c) That the coastal zone, particxilarly the estuaries and the fish and wildlife 

 therein, is ecologically fragile and consequently extremely vulnerable to destruc- 

 tion by man's alterations. 



"(f) That present land-use patterns in the more populated coastal areas cannot 

 accommodate the diverse requirements of the coastal zone resource.
