The goal of the South Carolina Coastal Program is to achieve balance between the appropriate use, development, and conservation of coastal resources in the best interest of all citizens of the state. Check it out here.
South Carolina is rich in both variety and abundance of coastal resources. Healthy coastal ecosystems provide opportunities for recreation, support commercial and recreational fisheries, and bolster domestic and international tourism, underpinning major engines of the state’s economy. The SC Coastal Zone Management Program (Coastal Program) was established under the guidelines of the National Coastal Zone Management Act (1972) as a state-federal partnership to comprehensively manage coastal resources. The Coastal Program was authorized in 1977 under the SC Coastal Tidelands and Wetlands Act.
