. Coast watch. Marine resources; Oceanography; Coastal zone management; Coastal ecology. LEGAL TIDES coastal communities and the urban coast. The center's birth also coincides with the Commission on Ocean Policy challenge to states — and the nation — to develop science- based solutions for sustainable coastal and ocean resources. And, many of the state's coastal communities are facing complex legal, policy and planning issues that accompany development pressure. "For North Carolina, the Coastal Area Management Act has been a management tool since 1974. Now there are new issues. It's time to address these new problems with innovative solutions," says Clark. The center is all about public service, Clark and Kalo say. They envision the center as a catalyst: • In developing a Southeastern Ocean Policy Report. This entails conducting a comprehensive analysis of North Carolina's — and other southeastern states' — existing ocean policy structure and identifying needs and priorities in ocean management from an ecosystem approach; • In collaborating with the Coastal States Organization, NOAA's Coastal Services Center and the Rhode Island Sea Grant Program to conduct a state-by-state analysis of law and regulations related to the ownership, sale and leasing options of state-owned submerged lands; and • In researching and assessing the potential for water-use planning for North Carolina's estuarine waters, linking water-use planning with adjacent land-use planning to encourage appropriate resource conservation and economic development. In other words: to protect traditional uses of coastal waters while accommodating new uses. Clark and Kalo won't be alone in setting an agenda and direction for the center. They will name a board of advisors drawn from coastal and ocean law, planning and policy professionals in coastal communities, state government, the academic community and public interest organizations.
