Georgia Coastal and Marine Planning (GCAMP)
Goal: To conserve natural, cultural and economic resources in Georgia’s offshore environment through planning and coordination: • Facilitating state’s management
of coastal and ocean resources
• Coordinating with federal regulatory agencies
• Providing online access to data regarding coastal and ocean resources
Department of Natural Resources Coastal Resources Division
`
GA DNR, Coastal Resources Division/Coastal Management Program:
• Recent program assessment revealed gaps in data for planning, and an unpredictable state process for managing offshore activities
• 5-year strategy funded to develop a coastal and marine planning tool and evaluate state coastal policies.
Georgia Institute of Technology
• Center for GIS: GIS data collection and compilation; development of spatial database and web viewer/portal
• Strategic Energy Institute: facilitates stakeholder involvement, agency interactions (esp. federal agencies); and compiles relevant state and federal policies

GA Coastal and Marine Planning: Project Area
- Coastal Waters (light blue) - All tidal waters & adjacent
uplands seaward to 3-nautical miles (nm), limit of State waters
- Ocean Waters (dark blue)
- U.S. Territorial Sea (3-12nm) - U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone
(12-200nm) - Onshore (green)
- Upland resources potentially affected by offshore activities

Georgia Coastal and Marine Planning
State policies and practices are set up to manage Traditional uses of coastal and ocean waters:
- Commercial Shipping - Commercial Fishing - Recreation & Tourism - Military Activities
Do these practices work for Emerging uses, too?
- Energy Production - Minerals Extraction (sand)
How do we successfully manage Competing uses?
