About The North Carolina Coastal Resources Law, Planning and Policy Center
The North Carolina Coastal Resources Law, Planning and Policy Center is an inter-institutional entity being planned and developed to co-ordinate and apply to state's pressing coastal and ocean resources and development issues and concerns the legal, planning and policy expertise of various units within the University of North Carolina system. The center will be a research, advisory, educational entity providing research support to state agencies, state advisory groups and panels, local governments, and community organizations in their efforts to address pressing development and resource issues and to promote the sustainable use of coastal lands, waters, and natural resources. The center will also engage in the study of long-term coastal use and development trends and issues and communicate the results of this research through white papers available on its website and through the semi-annual publication of Legal Tides, a newsletter being sent to over 2,400 state agency and local government personnel and community organizations. Outreach to coastal professionals, community organizations, and others with an interest in coastal resource issues with also take place through center sponsored conferences and other programs.
