Document Summary
The states have more power than the federal government, however, the act is a federal statue. Federal government basically bribed the states into a uniform way of controlling it. So they decided to give the states money to manage them. Just as much of a resource protection act as a management planning tool. Federal consistency (42 usc 307 et seq) the federal government has given power to the states to veto potential federal projects. Unless it is for national defense or security. This is not a delegation of power, there are provisions that state a sharing of the coastal area. (carrot approach) Each coastal state must make a coastal management plan that must meet federal objectives before they can get federal consistency and funding. All done through the department of commerce. (stick approach) The act gives the state 3 options to implement the management plan of the coastal area.
