16 U.S.C. § 1451 — Congressional findings

The Congress finds that— **(a)** There is a national interest in the effective management, beneficial use, protection, and development of the coastal zone. **(b)** The coastal zone is rich in a variety of natural, commercial, recreational, ecological, industrial, and esthetic resources of immediate and potential value to the present and future well-being of the Nation. **(c)** 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, recreation, extraction of mineral resources and fossil fuels, transportation and navigation, 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. **(d)** The habitat areas of the coastal zone, and the fish, shellfish, other living marine resources, and wildlife therein, are ecologically fragile and consequently extremely vulnerable to destruction by man’s alterations. **(e)** Important ecological, cultural, historic, and esthetic values in the coastal zone which are essential to the well-being of all citizens are being irretrievably damaged or lost. **(f)** New and expanding demands for food, energy, minerals, defense needs, recreation, waste disposal, transportation, and industrial activities in the Great Lakes, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, and Outer Continental Shelf are placing stress on these areas and are creating the need for resolution of serious conflicts among important and competing uses and values in coastal and ocean waters; 11 So

33 U.S.C. § 1121 — Congressional declaration of policy

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds and declares the following: (1) The national interest requires a strategy to— (A) provide for the understanding and wise use of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and the environment; (B) foster economic competitiveness; (C) promote public stewardship and wise economic development of the coastal ocean and its margins, the Great Lakes, and the exclusive economic zone; (D) encourage the development of preparation, forecast, analysis, mitigation, response, and recovery systems for coastal hazards; (E) understand global environmental processes and their impacts on ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources; and (F) promote domestic and international cooperative solutions to ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes issues. (2) Investment in a strong program of integrated research, education, extension, training, technology transfer, and public service is essential for this strategy. (3) The expanding use and development of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources resulting from growing coastal area populations and the increasing pressures on the coastal and Great Lakes environment challenge the ability of the United States to manage such resources wisely. (4) The vitality of the Nation and the quality of life of its citizens depend increasingly on the understanding, assessment, development, management, utilization, and conservation of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources. These resources supply food, energy, and minerals and contribute to human health, the quality of the environment, national security, and the enhancement of commerce. (5) The understanding, assessment, development, management, utilization, and conservation of such resources require a broad commitment and an intense involvement on the part of the F
