Coastal Tidelands and Wetlands Act
In 1977, the South Carolina Coastal Tidelands and Wetlands Act was passed which gives OCRM the duty to protect the quality of the coastal environment and to promote the economic and social improvement of the coastal zone. OCRM must balance the public's desire to utilize South Carolina's natural resources while protecting environmental quality. OCRM's responsibility, as implemented under the Regulations, is to ensure that impacts to these resources are minimized.
