The Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) is a key legislation in the United States designed to encourage states to develop and implement coastal zone management programs. Enacted in 1972, the CZMA aims to balance the conservation of coastal resources with economic development, promote the sustainable use of coastal areas, and protect coastal ecosystems. It provides federal funding and support to states that establish approved management plans, fostering collaboration between state and federal agencies to ensure effective stewardship of coastal regions.
