Final Environmental Impact Statement of the Proposed Coastal Management Program for the State of Florida

This document was submitted by the State of Florida, as its Coastal Management Program, to the Office of Coastal Zone Management for approval. Approval would allow program administrative grants to be awarded to the state, and would require that Federal actions be consistent with the Program. This document includes a copy of the Program (Part II) which is a comprehensive management program for coastal land and water use activities. The FCMP consists of numerous policies on diverse management issues which are administered under various state laws, and is the culmination of several years of program development.
Approval and implementation of the Program will enhance governance of the state’s coastal land and water areas and uses according to the coastal policies and standards contained in existing statutes, authorities and rules. The effect of these is to condition, restrict or prohibit various uses in parts of the coastal zone, while encouraging development and other uses in other parts. This Program will improve decision making processes for determining appropriate coastal land and water uses in light of resources considerations and will increase public awareness of coastal resources. The Program will result in some short-term economic impacts on coastal users but will lead to increased long-term protection of the state’s coastal resources and improve the responsiveness of state programs.

本文件由佛罗里达州以其海岸管理计划（Coastal Management Program）的名义，提交至海岸带管理办公室（Office of Coastal Zone Management）以待审批。审批通过后，该计划可获得面向州政府的项目行政拨款，同时要求联邦相关行动需与本计划保持一致。本文件附带本计划第二部分（Part II）的副本，该部分为针对沿海土地与用水活动的综合性管理方案。佛罗里达海岸管理计划（Florida Coastal Management Program，简称FCMP）由多项覆盖各类管理议题的政策构成，这些政策依据州内多部法律法规实施，亦是该计划历经数年开发的最终成果。
本计划的审批与实施，将依据现行法规、职权条款与管理细则中的海岸政策与标准，强化该州沿海陆地、水域及其开发利用的治理工作。上述政策的作用是对沿海部分区域的各类开发利用行为进行限定、约束或禁止，同时鼓励其他区域开展开发及相关利用活动。本计划将优化基于资源考量的沿海土地与用水合理利用决策流程，并提升公众对沿海资源的认知水平。本计划将对沿海相关主体造成一定短期经济影响，但从长期来看，将强化该州沿海资源的保护工作，并提升州内相关计划的响应效率。
