Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program

Coordination of Regional Shoreline Management

Category: Submerged, Intertidal, Wetland, and Inland

Cost: $ 30,000

Description: This project will begin to implement Action SM-2 of the Bays Plan, by convening an initial workshop of interested stakeholders and resource agencies to highlight 'lessons learned' and shoreline development guidelines in use elsewhere. An outcome of this workshop, or series of workshops, will be the formation of a Regional Shoreline Advisory Council that will oversee the development of a handbook on the subject "Guidelines for Shoreline Management for Use by Local Governments." It is possible that contractor assistance will be procured to ensure that focused expertise is given to the development of the handbook with proper consideration given to feasibility within the context of local conditions and practices.

Outcome: Workshops were to be held during the year. A final draft guidebook was to be completed by July 2000.
