A. 
The purpose of shoreline environment designations is to differentiate between areas whose geographical, hydrological, topographical or other features imply differing objectives regarding the use and future development of the shorelines of the State.
B. 
Each shoreline environment designation represents a particular emphasis in the type of uses, type of modifications, and the density and dimensions of development which should occur within it. The environment designation system is designed to encourage uses in each environment which enhance or are compatible with the character of the environment while at the same time requiring reasonable standards and restrictions on development so that the character of the environment is not adversely impacted.

The shoreline environment designations are included on Map 1, entitled Shoreline Environment Designations Map.

Any parcel of land included within the shoreline jurisdiction without a shoreline environment designation shall be considered Urban Conservancy Environment.
