If, through this process, it is determined that other appropriate sites need to be considered or that potential sites are not consistent with Executive Order 08-07, then the data and recommendations produced shall be provided to the public, the State Department of Fish and Wildlife and other relevant state agencies for future purposes relevant to nearshore management.
