Shoreline Management

This is a selected list of MRSC Library holdings on shoreline and coastal zone management. It includes items on the Washington Shoreline Management Act, aquatic lands, shoreline erosion management, public access, public trust doctrine, regulatory reform, and other related subjects. In addition to these listings, the library has many examples of shoreline master programs prepared by local governments, ordinances, handbooks, policies, and procedures relating to shoreline management. The Library also has a separate list of holdings on wetlands. These publications are available to Washington State city/town/county employees and officials to borrow at no charge through the MRSC Library Loan Request Form. If you are not a Washington city/town/county official or employee, we suggest you contact your local public library or law library for information or research direction.
