Note to Users: Each segment (or reach) of the shoreline has an “environment designation” that reflects its existing ecological condition, land use pattern, zoning, the types of health and safety hazards that are present (flooding, landslides, for example), geology, and other characteristics. The environment designations, which are depicted on maps attached to this document, provide a framework for tailoring shoreline policies and regulations to different shoreline segments based on their characteristics. This chapter explains the designations including the criteria for determining where each environment designation is applied and the overall management policies of each designation.
