Federal Consistency Geographic Location Descriptions

Data provided by  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

These data represent state geographic location descriptions (GLDs). Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, called the "federal consistency" provision, provides states with review authority of federal actions in areas outside of the state coastal zone, which they otherwise would not have, for activities that may affect a state's coastal uses or resources. Federal license or permit, and federal financial assistance activities that are listed in state coastal management programs for an accompanying GLD are subject to state review. All listings and GLDs must be approved by NOAA.
