  2. What Is CAMA? • The Coastal Area Management Act, or CAMA, is the state law that balances development with environmental protection along North Carolina’s coast.

  3. CAMA Permits • You must obtain a CAMA permit for your project if it meets all of the following conditions: • it is in one of the 20 counties covered by CAMA; • it is considered "development" under CAMA; • it is in, or it affects, an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) established by the CRC; • it doesn't qualify for an exemption.

  4. AECs Are Separated Into Four Broad Groupings • The Estuarine and Ocean System • Ocean Hazard Areas • Public Water Supplies • Natural and Cultural Resource Areas

  5. You need a permit if you are undertaking development in an AEC: - However, under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) of 1972, Federal agency actions are exempt from the permitting requirements of a State’s coastal program.

  6. Federal CZMA Consistency • These Federal agency actions anywhere within the coastal zone still must comply with the enforceable policies of the State’s coastal program - even if those activities would not do fall within an Area of Environmental Concern. • For more info, go to http://www.nccoastalmanagement.net/Permits/consist.htm
