The CZMP is a federal-state partnership that provides a basis for protecting, restoring, and responsibly developing the nation’s diverse coastal communities and resources. /!23!,//1$).!3)/. #3 In 1991, the Texas Legislature passed the Coastal Coordination Act (CCA) to solve concerns raised by Texas coastal citizens regarding the need for a unified and comprehensive approach to the management of coastal natural resources and other complex coastal issues. The CCA called for the development of a program based on previously existing statutes and regulations and directed the Texas General Land Office (GLO) to develop a long-range, comprehensive plan for managing coastal natural resource areas (CNRAs) in cooperation with federal and state agencies, local governments, and coastal citizens. The CCA (1) set the boundaries of the state’s coastal zone to include all or part of 18 coastal counties and more than 8 million acres of land and water; (2) established the framework for a federally approved coastal management program; and (3) created the Coastal Coordination Council (CCC) to establish rules for certification for consistency with the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program (CMP) and to approve CMP funded projects. In 2010, the CCC underwent review by the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission (SAC). The SAC determined that while the state benefited from maintaining a federally approved CMP, the CCC was no longer needed to administer it.

The CMP is a networked program that links existing regulations, programs, and local, state, and federal entities that manage various aspects of coastal resource use. The CMP’s mission is to improve the management of the state’s CNRAs designated to be of particular concern and ensure the long-term ecological and economic productivity of the Texas coast. &RDVWDO&RRUGLQDWLRQ$GYLVRU\&RPPLWWHH The CCAC is comprised of eight members representing state agencies and four members representing local government and citizens.

The CCAC manages elevated coastal issues that concern multiple Coastal Issue Teams (CITs) and consistency issues. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 and FY 2020, the CCAC met twice. The GLO provides the CCAC with quarterly CMP updates. /!23!,224%2%!- Under the CCAC, CITs meet to coordinate on cross-agency issues, including water quality; CMP grants; CMP coastal long-term planning; and regulatory/permitting. Water Quality CIT The Water Quality CIT is actively working towards approval of the Texas Coastal Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution Control Program, with a current focus on measures related to onsite sewage facilities/onsite sewage disposal systems and storm water, roadway, and watershed planning. CMP Grants CIT Each year, the CMP awards approximately $1.8 million in grant funding. The CMP Grants CIT reviews grant pre-proposals and provides comments to applicants and reviews and scores final applications. CMP Coastal Long-Term Planning CIT The Coastal Long-Term Planning CIT members participate in the development of the Section 309 Assessment and Strategies Report and serve as members of the Technical Advisory Committee (Committee) for the Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan (Master Plan).
