Coastal
Planning
Guide
Published
A Guide to Planning for Coastal Communities
in Wisconsin has been published by Bay-Lake Regional Planning
Commission, with support from the Wisconsin Coastal Management
Program. The planning guide is for communities in Wisconsin
within the Great Lakes coastal zone of the state. Coastal
communities face unique challenges when they prepare their
comprehensive plans. The guide is intended to help Wisconsin
communities focus on coastal issues within each of the nine elements
of their local comprehensive plans.
Copies of the Coastal Planning Guide can be
