TwitterCalifornia's Coastal Zone generally extends seaward to the state's outer limit of jurisdiction, including all offshore islands, and inland to approximately 1,000 yards from the mean high tide line (MHTL) of the sea, or in significant coastal estuarine, habitat, and recreational areas to the first major ridgeline paralleling the sea or five miles from the mean high tide line of the sea, whichever is less. In developed urban areas the zone generally extends inland less than 1,000 yards. This data set represents the landward boundary of California's Coastal Zone. Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 30103(a) specifically defines California's Coastal Zone as that land and water area of the State of California from the Oregon border to the border of the Republic of Mexico depicted on maps identified and set forth in Section 17 of that chapter of the Statutes of the 1975-76 Regular Session enacting PRC Division 20 (the Coastal Act of 1976). PRC Section 30103(b) directed the Coastal Commission to prepare and adopt more detailed 1:24,000 scale Coastal Zone Boundary (CZB) maps, which occurred March 1, 1977. These 161 adopted maps provide the official basis for all other representations of the landward CZB. The digital version of the CZB created by developing this shapefile is a conformed copy of the official boundary, and in some locations reflects legislative changes and Coastal Commission minor adjustments adopted from time to time since March 1977.
Section 30103 of the Coastal Act:
Coastal zone; map; purpose (a) "Coastal zone" means that land and water area of the State of California from the Oregon border to the border of the Republic of Mexico, specified on the maps identified and set forth in Section 17 of Chapter 1330 of the Statutes of 1976, extending seaward to the state's outer limit of jurisdiction, including all offshore islands, and 11 extending inland generally 1,000 yards from the mean high tide line of the sea. In significant coastal estuarine, habitat, and recreational areas it extends inland to the first major ridgeline paralleling the sea or five miles from the mean high tide line of the sea, whichever is less, and in developed urban areas the zone generally extends inland less than 1,000 yards. The coastal zone does not include the area of jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, established pursuant to Title 7.2 (commencing with Section 66600) of the Government Code, nor any area contiguous thereto, including any river, stream, tributary, creek, or flood control or drainage channel flowing into such area.
Note that the California's State Waters limit, which generally is 3 nautical miles [5.6 km] from shore, extends farther offshore (as much as 12 nautical miles) between Santa Cruz and Monterey, so that it encompasses all of Monterey Bay.

TwitterCoastal armoring structures are built extensively along California’s 1,271-mile coastline by private landowners, local, state, and federal governments to protect coastal development threatened by erosion. This dataset shows the locations of shore parallel coastal armoring structures Statewide. In 2005, NOAA Coastal Management Fellow, Jennifer Dare, developed a statewide coastal armoring and erosion GIS data layer for the California Coastal Commission (CCC) that contained polylines representing a variety of along-shore armoring structures. A combination of aerial images, oblique images from the California Coastal Records Project and georeferenced ortho-images were used to identify and map shoreline protective structures along the entire California coast. Building upon J.Dare's work, ESA PWA designed and constructed a comprehensive coastal armoring geodatabase for the California Coastal Commisison to help answer key management questions related to the impacts of armoring on the shoreline. The California Coastal Commission’s Coastal Armoring database was updated in 2018. During the 2018 effort, California Coastal Commission analyst E. Essoudry used 2013 oblique images from the California Coastal Records Project and 2016-2018 ESRI and Google orbital imagery to approximate location and structure extent. The current draft database is a comprehensive statewide geospatial inventory of coastal armoring structures that will assist coastal managers and planners in identifying where past and present projects are located, locations of potential future development projects, identify resources potentially impacted by a project, and perform analyses on the cumulative impacts of armoring projects. This dataset also allows users to analyze spatial relationships among coastal armoring practices, answer important coastal management questions related to coastal armoring, and aid in climate change adaptation planning. Each armor structure is identified by a unique identifier number in the attribute table (Structure ID). The Structure ID uses the county abbreviation with a five-digit number and links the Structure History table within the database to its geographic representation.Terms of Use(1) The State of California and the California Coastal Commission make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or completeness of this dataset or the data sources from which it was derived. Neither the State nor the Commission shall be liable under any circumstances for any direct, special, incidental, or consequential damages with respect to any claim by any user or third party on account of or arising from the use of this dataset or the data sources from which it was derived. The data included are representational, may be revised at any time in the future, and are not binding on the Coastal Commission. (2) This dataset is intended solely to be used for illustrative purposes of structures along the California coast. Information in this dataset is solely for consideration by federal, state, and local government agencies, organizations, and committees involved in the management and protection of coastal resources in California. The list of structures has not been accepted nor approved by any governmental agencies and, as such, should not be construed to represent policy for any agency.(3) The user of this data agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless, the California Coastal Commission, its Commissioners, employees, and agents, from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of the use of this data by user. (4) The accuracy of the GIS dataset is dependent on the ability to identify structure types and materials from aerial imagery and field verification. Therefore, the polylines are intended to provide an approximate geographic extent of the structure and are for representational purposes only. (4) Many shoreline protective structures have a relatively small footprint, therefore it is difficult to identify them via aerial imagery. By comparing the location of the structure in the 2013 oblique images from the California Coastal Records Project with the location on the 2018 aerial photograph, an approximate location and structure extent was determined. It is important to note that the dataset is based on what was identified in the 2013 Coastal Records photographs and may not accurately represent the state of armoring on the coast at the present time. The structure locations dataset is based on the visual characteristics of the structures. Some structures are buried, concealed by vegetation, or are constructed to look like the natural color and texture of the surrounding bluffs. These structures may have been overlooked when the dataset was created (in 2005) and updated in 2018. Structures that are no longer present on the ground may be included in the dataset for purposes of recording a structure that has since been altered, deteriorated, removed or hidden in the visual imagery. (5) Inclusion of the following acknowledgement in any products derived from these data would be appreciated: "Prepared in part with geographic information created and provided by the California Coastal Commission, GIS/Mapping Unit."

TwitterCalifornia’s Critical Coastal Areas (CCA) program aims to foster collaboration among local stakeholders and government agencies, to better coordinate efforts to protect high resource-value coastal waters from polluted runoff. This non-regulatory program, which is part of the state’s NPS Program, is coordinated by Coastal Commission staff. The Critical Coastal Areas dataset is derived from hydrology data, including HUC-12 watersheds data, as well as California's Marine Protected Areas, Areas of Special Biological Significance, and the EPA's 303(d) Impaired Waters list. The data includes watershed areas identified as "Critical Coastal Areas" (CCAs) based on a number of criteria related to impaired waters. CCAs include all watersheds flowing into CA's 32 Areas of Special Biological Significance, impaired watersheds flowing into Principal Bays and Estuaries, and impaired watersheds that empty into the ocean within 1 mile of a Marine Protected Area. Watershed areas were principally identified based off of HUC-12 watersheds in the Coastal Zone, while some of the watersheds were created or bisected based on the USGS National Map topographic basemap. The data is merely a representation of these watershed areas and is not exact, especially in areas where the coastal zone boundary weaves in and out of an impaired watershed. The dataset was created with the intent of helping to inform Coastal Commission staff about potential water quality impacts of projects they may receive for review, as well as the cumulative water quality impacts of other non point source pollution in the areas near such projects. The dataset may be useful for staff in creating special conditions related to water quality for such projects. The CCAs dataset is not intended to inform staff on whether or not a project application is in compliance with the Coastal Act. The dataset is subject to change as new iterations of the EPA's 303(d) Impaired Waters list are released.

TwitterThis data depicts the California Coastal Commission's Coastal Zone Boundary. It was digitized within AutoCAD from the Commission's certified Coastal Zone Boundary hard copy maps. The files were then imported into ArcView, and merged together following Commission jurisdictional boundaries (North Coast, North Central Coast, Central Coast, South Central Coast, South Coast, and San Diego). The line work was originally georeferenced to the 1:24,000 scale USGS Digital Raster Graphics (DRG) in Teale Albers projection. The data was later refined to the 1:24,000 scale USGS DRGs in UTM, Zones 10 and 11, NAD 83 meters. This file is intended to be displayed no larger than 1:24,000 scale upon the USGS UTM DRGs base map. In addition, the data was later attributed to help explain the basis of the mapped Coastal Zone. Please note- the digital version of the CZB created by developing this shapefile is a conformed copy of the official boundary adopted by the Commission in 1977. This data does not reflect all minor adjustments to the Coastal Zone Boundary that have been subsequently certified by the Commission. Such adjustments are reflected in the cadastral (parcel-based) County depictions of the adopted Coastal Zone Boundary.

TwitterCalifornia State Lands Commission Offshore Oil Leases in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Orange County.The polygons in this layer show the position of Offshore Oil Leases as documented by former State Lands Senior Boundary Determination Officer, Cris N. Perez and as reviewed and updated by GIS and Boundary staff.Background: This layer represents active offshore oil and gas agreements in California waters, which are what remain of the more than 60 originally issued. These leases were issued prior to the catastrophic 1969 oil spill from Platform A in federal waters off Santa Barbara County, and some predate the formation of the Commission. Between 2010 and 2014, the bulk of the approximately $300 million generated annually for the state's General Fund from oil and gas agreements was from these offshore leases.In 1921, the Legislature created the first tidelands oil and gas leasing program. Between 1921 and 1929, approximately 100 permits and leases were issued and over 850 wells were drilled in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. In 1929, the Legislature prohibited any new leases or permits. In 1933, however, the prohibition was partially lifted in response to an alleged theft of tidelands oil in Huntington Beach. It wasn't until 1938, and again in 1955, that the Legislature would allow new offshore oil and gas leasing. Except for limited circumstances, the Legislature has consistently placed limits on the areas that the Commission may offer for lease and in 1994, placed the entirety of California's coast off-limits to new oil and gas leases. Layer Creation Process:In 1997 Cris N. Perez, Senior Boundary Determination Officer of the Southern California Section of the State Lands Division, prepared a report on the Commission’s Offshore Oil Leases to:A. Show the position of Offshore Oil Leases. B. Produce a hard copy of 1927 NAD Coordinates for each lease. C. Discuss any problems evident after plotting the leases.Below are some of the details Cris included in the report:I have plotted the leases that were supplied to me by the Long Beach Office and computed 1927 NAD California Coordinates for each one. Where the Mean High Tide Line (MHTL) was called for and not described in the deed, I have plotted the California State Lands Commission CB Map Coordinates, from the actual field surveys of the Mean High Water Line and referenced them wherever used. Where the MHTL was called for and not described in the deed and no California State Lands Coordinates were available, I digitized the maps entitled, “Map of the Offshore Ownership Boundary of the State of California Drawn pursuant to the Supplemental Decree of the U.S. Supreme Court in the U.S. V. California, 382 U.S. 448 (1966), Scale 1:10000 Sheets 1-161.” The shore line depicted on these maps is the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) Line as shown on the Hydrographic or Topographic Sheets for the coastline. If a better fit is needed, a field survey to position this line will need to be done.The coordinates listed in Cris’ report were retrieved through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and used to produce GIS polygons using Esri ArcGIS software. Coordinates were checked after the OCR process when producing the polygons in ArcMap to ensure accuracy. Original Coordinate systems (NAD 1927 California State Plane Zones 5 and 6) were used initially, with each zone being reprojected to NAD 83 Teale Albers Meters and merged after the review process.While Cris’ expertise and documentation were relied upon to produce this GIS Layer, certain polygons were reviewed further for any potential updates since Cris’ document and for any unusual geometry. Boundary Determination Officers addressed these issues and plotted leases currently listed as active, but not originally in Cris’ report. On December 24, 2014, the SLA boundary offshore of California was fixed (permanently immobilized) by a decree issued by the U.S. Supreme Court United States v. California, 135 S. Ct. 563 (2014). Offshore leases were clipped so as not to exceed the limits of this fixed boundary. Lease Notes:PRC 1482The “lease area” for this lease is based on the Compensatory Royalty Agreement dated 1-21-1955 as found on the CSLC Insider. The document spells out the distinction between “leased lands” and “state lands”. The leased lands are between two private companies and the agreement only makes a claim to the State’s interest as those lands as identified and surveyed per the map Tract 893, Bk 27 Pg 24. The map shows the State’s interest as being confined to the meanders of three sloughs, one of which is severed from the bay (Anaheim) by a Tideland sale. It should be noted that the actual sovereign tide and or submerged lands for this area is all those historic tide and submerged lands minus and valid tide land sales patents. The three parcels identified were also compared to what the Orange County GIS land records system has for their parcels. Shapefiles were downloaded from that site as well as two centerline monuments for 2 roads covered by the Tract 893. It corresponded well, so their GIS linework was held and clipped or extended to make a parcel.MJF Boundary Determination Officer 12/19/16PRC 3455The “lease area” for this lease is based on the Tract No. 2 Agreement, Long Beach Unit, Wilmington Oil Field, CA dated 4/01/1965 and found on the CSLC insider (also recorded March 12, 1965 in Book M 1799, Page 801).Unit Operating Agreement, Long Beach Unit recorded March 12, 1965 in Book M 1799 page 599.“City’s Portion of the Offshore Area” shall mean the undeveloped portion of the Long Beach tidelands as defined in Section 1(f) of Chapter 138, and includes Tract No. 1”“State’s Portion of the Offshore Area” shall mean that portion of the Alamitos Beach Park Lands, as defined in Chapter 138, included within the Unit Area and includes Tract No. 2.”“Alamitos Beach Park Lands” means those tidelands and submerged lands, whether filled or unfilled, described in that certain Judgment After Remittitur in The People of the State of California v. City of Long Beach, Case No. 683824 in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, dated May 8, 1962, and entered on May 15, 1962 in Judgment Book 4481, at Page 76, of the Official Records of the above entitled court”*The description for Tract 2 has an EXCEPTING (statement) “therefrom that portion lying Southerly of the Southerly line of the Boundary of Subsidence Area, as shown on Long Beach Harbor Department {LBHD} Drawing No. D-98. This map could not be found in records nor via a PRA request to the LBHD directly. Some maps were located that show the extents of subsidence in this area being approximately 700 feet waterward of the MHTL as determined by SCC 683824. Although the “EXCEPTING” statement appears to exclude most of what would seem like the offshore area (out to 3 nautical miles from the MHTL which is different than the actual CA offshore boundary measured from MLLW) the 1964, ch 138 grant (pg25) seems to reference the lands lying seaward of that MHTL and ”westerly of the easterly boundary of the undeveloped portion of the Long Beach tidelands, the latter of which is the same boundary (NW) of tract 2. This appears to then indicate that the “EXCEPTING” area is not part of the Lands Granted to City of Long Beach and appears to indicate that this portion might be then the “State’s Portion of the Offshore Area” as referenced in the Grant and the Unit Operating Agreement. Section “f” in the CSLC insider document (pg 9) defines the Contract Lands: means Tract No. 2 as described in Exhibit “A” to the Unit Agreement, and as shown on Exhibit “B” to the Unit Agreement, together with all other lands within the State’s Portion of the Offshore Area.Linework has been plotted in accordance with the methods used to produce this layer, with record lines rotated to those as listed in the descriptions. The main boundaries being the MHTL(north/northeast) that appears to be fixed for most of the area (projected to the city boundary on the east/southeast); 3 nautical miles from said MHTL on the south/southwest; and the prolongation of the NWly line of Block 50 of Alamitos Bay Tract.MJF Boundary Determination Officer 12-27-16PRC 4736The “lease area” for this lease is based on the Oil and Gas Lease and Agreement as found on the CSLC insider and recorded August 17, 1973 in BK 10855 PG 432 Official Records, Orange County. The State’s Mineral Interests are confined to Parcels “B-1” and “B-2” and are referred to as “State Mineral Lands” comprising 70.00 Acres. The lessee each has a right to certain uses including but not limited to usage of utility corridors, 110 foot radius parcels surrounding well-sites and roads. The State also has access to those same roads per this agreement/lease. Those uses are allowed in what are termed “State Lands”-Parcel E and “Leased Lands” which are defined as the “South Bolsa Lease Area”-Parcel C (2 parcels) and “North Bolsa Lease Area”-Parcel D.

The document spells out the distinction between “leased lands” and “state lands”. The leased lands are between two private companies and the agreement only makes a claim to the State’s interest as those lands as identified and surveyed per the map Tract 893, Bk 27 Pg 24. The map shows the State’s interest as being confined to the meanders of three sloughs, one of which is severed from the bay (Anaheim) by a Tideland sale. It should be noted that the actual sovereign tide and or submerged lands for this area is all those historic tide and submerged lands minus and valid tide land sales patents. The three parcels identified were also compared to what the Orange County GIS land records system has for their parcels. Shapefiles were downloaded from that site as well as two centerline monuments for 2 roads covered by the Tract 893. It corresponded well, so their GIS linework was held and clipped or extended to make a parcel.

The “lease area” for this lease is based on the Tract No. 2 Agreement, Long Beach Unit, Wilmington Oil Field, CA dated 4/01/1965 and found on the CSLC insider (also recorded March 12, 1965 in Book M 1799, Page 801).
Unit Operating Agreement, Long Beach Unit recorded March 12, 1965 in Book M 1799 page 599.
“City’s Portion of the Offshore Area” shall mean the undeveloped portion of the Long Beach tidelands as defined in Section 1(f) of Chapter 138, and includes Tract No. 1”
“State’s Portion of the Offshore Area” shall mean that portion of the Alamitos Beach Park Lands, as defined in Chapter 138, included within the Unit Area and includes Tract No. 2.”
“Alamitos Beach Park Lands” means those tidelands and submerged lands, whether filled or unfilled, described in that certain Judgment After Remittitur in The People of the State of California v. City of Long Beach, Case No. 683824 in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, dated May 8, 1962, and entered on May 15, 1962 in Judgment Book 4481, at Page 76, of the Official Records of the above entitled court”
*The description for Tract 2 has an EXCEPTING (statement) “therefrom that portion lying Southerly of the Southerly line of the Boundary of Subsidence Area, as shown on Long Beach Harbor Department {LBHD} Drawing No. D-98. This map could not be found in records nor via a PRA request to the LBHD directly. Some maps were located that show the extents of subsidence in this area being approximately 700 feet waterward of the MHTL as determined by SCC 683824. Although the “EXCEPTING” statement appears to exclude most of what would seem like the offshore area (out to 3 nautical miles from the MHTL which is different than the actual CA offshore boundary measured from MLLW) the 1964, ch 138 grant (pg25) seems to reference the lands lying seaward of that MHTL and ”westerly of the easterly boundary of the undeveloped portion of the Long Beach tidelands, the latter of which is the same boundary (NW) of tract 2. This appears to then indicate that the “EXCEPTING” area is not part of the Lands Granted to City of Long Beach and appears to indicate that this portion might be then the “State’s Portion of the Offshore Area” as referenced in the Grant and the Unit Operating Agreement. Section “f” in the CSLC insider document (pg 9) defines the Contract Lands: means Tract No. 2 as described in Exhibit “A” to the Unit Agreement, and as shown on Exhibit “B” to the Unit Agreement, together with all other lands within the State’s Portion of the Offshore Area.
Linework has been plotted in accordance with the methods used to produce this layer, with record lines rotated to those as listed in the descriptions. The main boundaries being the MHTL(north/northeast) that appears to be fixed for most of the area (projected to the city boundary on the east/southeast); 3 nautical miles from said MHTL on the south/southwest; and the prolongation of the NWly line of Block 50 of Alamitos Bay Tract.

TwitterThe Hawke's Bay Regional Council commissioned Tonkin & Taylor Ltd to undertake a regional hazard assessment using high resolution aerial survey of large areas of the cliff coastline and georeferenced photogrammetric analysis was carried out for other areas, enabling mapping of Cliff shore hazard zones along the Hawke's Bay coastline. Where areas of the Cliff Shore Hazard Zone intersect with areas of the soft shore hazard areas (i.e. ‘Current Erosion Risk Zone’ and ‘2100 Erosion Risk Zone’), a ‘transitional zone’ has been created. Within this zone, the potential hazard could be due to coastal processes, cliff processes or a combination of the two. Multiple and complex processes potentially occur in these transitional zones. A delineation of the cliff toe (base) was obtained for all areas along the Hawke’s Bay coast where predominate cliffs exist in the immediate backshore area of the shoreline. The cliff toe/base was identified as the point where the backshore area of the beach changed slope dramatically to form a cliff. There was no discrimination as to the geology of the cliff; therefore the cliff could range from ‘soft’, erosion prone material or ‘hard’, erosion resistant material. The cliff toe was identified and digitised from four sources: • stereophotogrammetry aerial photographs (undertaken by New Zealand Aerial Mapping) • LIDAR derived elevation data (supplied by HBRC) • georeferenced aerial photography (monophotogrammetry) • LINZ 260 Map Series digital data 1:50000 digital elevation and coastline data. The method used was proposed by the California Coastal Zone Conservation Commission for slopes of low stability and is considered suitable for competent cliffs in rural zoned areas and reserve areas. Only one zone was established along cliff shores, which comprised the larger of the two methods.

TwitterIn partnership with the Coastal Commission, Local Coastal Programs (LCPs) are basic planning tools prepared by local governments and used to guide development in California’s coastal zone. LCPs contain the ground rules for future development and protection of coastal resources in each of California’s 61 coastal cities and 15 coastal counties. Following adoption by a city council or county board of supervisors, an LCP is submitted to the Coastal Commission for review for consistency with Coastal Act requirements. Many of the coastal counties and cities have elected to divide their coastal zone jurisdictions into separate geographic segments, resulting in some 126 separate LCP segments. The original LCP Segment/Uncertified Area (UA) maps were paper copies of USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangles with inked boundaries and shading film added. This shapefile represents the first digital version of the LCP segment boundaries and boundaries of uncertified LCP areas. This data was digitized at 1:24,000 scale upon digital USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangles (DRGs). Edits have been made, using larger scale data where possible, to reflect changes in City boundaries, transportation networks, and other cultural or landscape features. This dataset was developed to provide a georeferenced, attributed digital version of the LCP Segment and uncertified LCP areas for planning and regulatory activities of the Coastal Commission, local governments and others. These data are intended to be displayed no larger than 1:24,000 scale upon the UTM DRGs base maps and are not appropriate for cadastral scale mapping applications nor jurisdictional boundary determinations.

The California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) and the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water Boards), collectively known as the California Water Boards (Water Boards), are dedicated to a single vision: abundant clean water for human uses and environmental protection to sustain California’s future. Under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and the state’s pioneering Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, the State and Regional Water Boards have regulatory responsibility for protecting the water quality of nearly 1.6 million acres of lakes, 1.3 million acres of bays and estuaries, 211,000 miles of rivers and streams, and about 1,100 miles of California coastline.The State Water Board is located in Sacramento. There are nine Regional Water Boards, the boundaries of which are generally based on watersheds, also known as hydrologic areas. The nine Regional Water Boards are referred to by specific names, which are: (1) North Coast, (2) San Francisco Bay, (3) Central Coast, (4) Los Angeles, (5) Central Valley, (6) Lahontan, (7) Colorado River Basin, (8) Santa Ana, and (9) San Diego. Due to their size, and/or geographic spread, the Central Valley Board has three offices and the Lahontan Board has two offices. In addition, the Drinking Water Program has fourteen District offices spread throughout the state.This map service shows the jurisdictional boundaries of the nine Regional Water Boards and the locations of their administrative offices. The official legal definitions of Regional Water Quality Control Board jurisdictions may be found in the Section 13200 of the California Water Code.For more information, please visit the California Water Boards website at https://www.waterboards.ca.gov.

TwitterCalifornia's Coastal Zone generally extends seaward to the state's outer limit of jurisdiction, including all offshore islands, and inland to approximately 1,000 yards from the mean high tide line (MHTL) of the sea, or in significant coastal estuarine, habitat, and recreational areas to the first major ridgeline paralleling the sea or five miles from the mean high tide line of the sea, whichever is less. In developed urban areas the zone generally extends inland less than 1,000 yards. This data set represents the landward boundary of California's Coastal Zone. Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 30103(a) specifically defines California's Coastal Zone as that land and water area of the State of California from the Oregon border to the border of the Republic of Mexico depicted on maps identified and set forth in Section 17 of that chapter of the Statutes of the 1975-76 Regular Session enacting PRC Division 20 (the Coastal Act of 1976). PRC Section 30103(b) directed the Coastal Commission to prepare and adopt more detailed 1:24,000 scale Coastal Zone Boundary (CZB) maps, which occurred March 1, 1977. These 161 adopted maps provide the official basis for all other representations of the landward CZB. The digital version of the CZB created by developing this shapefile is a conformed copy of the official boundary, and in some locations reflects legislative changes and Coastal Commission minor adjustments adopted from time to time since March 1977.
Section 30103 of the Coastal Act:
Coastal zone; map; purpose (a) "Coastal zone" means that land and water area of the State of California from the Oregon border to the border of the Republic of Mexico, specified on the maps identified and set forth in Section 17 of Chapter 1330 of the Statutes of 1976, extending seaward to the state's outer limit of jurisdiction, including all offshore islands, and 11 extending inland generally 1,000 yards from the mean high tide line of the sea. In significant coastal estuarine, habitat, and recreational areas it extends inland to the first major ridgeline paralleling the sea or five miles from the mean high tide line of the sea, whichever is less, and in developed urban areas the zone generally extends inland less than 1,000 yards. The coastal zone does not include the area of jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, established pursuant to Title 7.2 (commencing with Section 66600) of the Government Code, nor any area contiguous thereto, including any river, stream, tributary, creek, or flood control or drainage channel flowing into such area.
Note that the California's State Waters limit, which generally is 3 nautical miles [5.6 km] from shore, extends farther offshore (as much as 12 nautical miles) between Santa Cruz and Monterey, so that it encompasses all of Monterey Bay.
