The federal Coastal Zone Management Act was enacted by Congress in 1972 because of the recognized need for increased protection of coastal resources in the face of accelerating development pressures. The Coastal Zone Management Program, however, is not living up to its promise. It is not bringing about effective protection of valuable coastal resources. It is not effectively addressing the problems recognized by Congress when it passed the Act. The failures in the program are attributable to weaknesses in the statute itself, problems with federal implementation, and the uncertainty of benefits accruing to states which develop approved coastal programs. Changes are needed in the Coastal Zone Management Act to make state programs more effective. Otherwise, millions of dollars will have been wasted and the coast will remain unprotected at a time when threats are accelerating.
