(a) Protect wetlands, flood plains, estuaries, beaches, dunes, and fish and wildlife and their habitat within coastal areas.
(b) Minimize the loss of life and property in coastal flood-prone, storm surge, geologic hazard, and erosion-prone areas.
(c) Provide public access to the coast for recreational purposes, to acquire coastal view sheds, and to preserve, maintain, and restore historic, cultural, and aesthetic coastal sites.
(d) Facilitate the process for siting major facilities along the coast related to fisheries, recreation, and ports and other coastal dependent commercial uses, giving full consideration to environmental concerns as well as the need for economic development.
(e) Promote other coastal management improvements determined by the secretary to be consistent with the state’s coastal management program.
