Since 1978, and with direct legislative authorization since 1983, the Coastal Zone Management Office within the Execcutive Office of Environmental Affairs has administered the interagency Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management Program, which was established under the auspices of the federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, PL 92-583. The office reviews all activities directly affecting the coastal zone that require federal permits, to ensure that these are in compliance with approved state environmental management mandates such as provided in the Coastal Wetlands Restriction Act (St 1965, c 768). It also reviews coastal-zone related projects requiring state or local permits and works with other state agencies to improve regulatory mechanisms to protect coastal resources and to set coastal management policies and priorities. Series was created to prepare a narrative history of the office (published 1978), highlighting development of policy and growth of the office's responsibilities.
