Conducting a Comprehensive Shoreline Master Program Update

This class, taught by a variety of public and private professionals with extensive applied experience, is intended for local government personnel and consultants involved in comprehensive updates of Shoreline Master Programs (SMPs).  This two-day class will take you step-by-step through all phases of the update process, including the policy and directives of the Shoreline Management Act and the SMP Guidelines.  Topics and examples will cover shoreline jurisdiction, public participation, inventory and characterization methodology, linking science to local policy and regulatory decision-making, and satisfying no net loss, restoration planning and cumulative impacts analysis requirements.  The local and state SMP approval process will also be examined as well as lessons learned from recent SMP updates.    (13 CM Credits)
