| Overview of Guam Coastal Management Program (GCMP) |
| The Guam Coastal Management Program (GCMP) was developed on Guam as a core component within the Bureau of Statistics and Plans, a staff agency within the office of the Governor. It is based on local laws, regulations and resources and received full Federal approval from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration in 1979. It receives annual Federal funding under provisions of the US Coastal Zone Management Act which allows it to support functions of its networked agencies which have planning, research, outreach and permitting functions related to development and the environment. |
