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.
