The Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) is a United States federal law enacted in 1972 to encourage effective management of the nation's coastal resources. It aims to balance environmental preservation, coastal development, and economic activity by providing a framework for states to create and implement coastal management programs. The CZMA promotes sustainable use of coastal areas, enhances public access, and protects natural resources while addressing the impacts of coastal hazards and climate change.
