TOPIC: Land Use Goals 16 & 17
This Town Hall will cover two State Planning Goals.
Goal 16 - Estuarine Resources:
“To recognize and protect the unique environmental, economic and social values of each estuary and associated wetlands; and to protect, maintain, and where appropriate develop and restore, the long term environmental, economic and social values, diversity and benefits of Oregon’s estuaries.”
Goal 17 - Coastal Shorelands:
“To conserve, protect, and where appropriate, develop and restore the resources and benefits of all coastal shorelands, recognizing their value for protection and maintenance of water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, water-dependent uses, economic resources and recreation and aesthetics. The management of these shoreland areas shall be compatible with the characteristics of the adjacent coastal waters; and to reduce the hazard to human life and property, and the adverse effects upon water quality and fish and wildlife habitat, resulting from the use and enjoyment of Oregon’s coastal shorelands.”
