Sec. 923.25  Shoreline erosion/mitigation planning.

    (a) The management program must include a planning process for 
assessing the effects of, and studying and evaluating ways to control, 
or lessen the impact of, shoreline erosion, including potential impacts 
of sea level rise, and to restore areas adversely affected by such 
erosion. This planning process may be within the broader context of 
coastal hazard mitigation planning.
    (b) The basic purpose in developing this planning process is to give 
special attention to erosion issues. This special management attention 
may be achieved by designating erosion areas as areas of particular 
concern pursuant to Sec. 923.21 or as areas for preservation or 
restoration pursuant to Sec. 923.22.
    (c) The management program must include an identification and 
description of enforceable policies, legal authorities, funding 
techniques and other techniques that will be used to manage the effects 
of erosion, including potential impacts of sea level rise, as the 
state's planning process indicates is necessary.
