CCC Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance

The California Coastal Commission (CCC) has posted the recommended final draft of its Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance: Interpretive Guidelines for Addressing Sea Level Rise in Local Coastal Programs and Coastal Development Permits (Guidance). 

The Guidance is advisory, and not a regulatory document or legal standard of review for the actions that the CCC or local governments may take under the Coastal Act.  The Guidance will be updated periodically to address new sea level science, information, and approaches regarding sea level rise adaption, and new legal precedent.  The Guidance documents can be accessed here.
