"CONGEESSIONAL FINDINGS 



"Sec. 302. The Congress finds— 



"(a) That the well-being 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, bene- 

 ficial use, protection, and development 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 well-being of our Nation. 



"(d) That the increasing and competing demands upon the lands and waters 

 of our coastal zone occasioned by population growth and economic development, 

 including requirements for industry, commerce, residential development, recrea- 

 tion, extraction of mineral resources and fossil fuels transportation and naviga- 

 tion, waste disposal, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, and other living marine 

 resources, have resulted in the loss of living marine resources, wildlife, nutrient- 

 rich areas, permanent and adverse changes to ecological systems, decreasing 

 open space for public use, and shoreline erosion. 



"(e) That the coastal zone, and the fish, shellfish, other living mai-ine resources, 

 and wildlife therein, are ecologically fragile and consequently extremely vul- 

 nerable to destruction by man's alterations. 



"(f) That present land and water uses in the more populated coastal areas 

 do not adequately accommodate the diverse requirements of the coastal zone.
