North Shore Management Zone Boundary

The North Shore Management Board was created in 1987, during the development of the 1989 update to the Statewide Shoreland Management Rules. Creation of the Board was also driven by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) to create a management plan for the North Shore of Lake Superior. The plan was adopted by the North Shore Management Board on November 29, 1988. The standards and policies serve as a substitute to the Statewide Standards for Management of Shoreland Areas, as detailed in Minnesota Rules, part 6120.2800, Subp. 1a (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/6120.2800/#rule.6120.2800.1 ). This dataset provides a spatial representation of the North Shore Management Zone Boundary, most recently described in Section 1.4.1 of the 2016 version of the North Shore Management Plan – which is consistent with what was described in the 1988 plan (https://northshoremanagementboard.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/nsmb.document.full_.pdf ).
