Description The purpose of this guidance is to support local governments in addressing the impacts of climate change on shorelines, focusing on plan consistency and how the process of developing a comprehensive plan climate resilience sub-element can inform future updates to shoreline master programs (SMPs). This guidance is a companion to the Department of Commerce’s 2023 Climate Element Planning Guidance. It is interim and establishes no new requirements. The intended audience for this guidance is local governments and consultants working on climate resilience sub-elements for comprehensive plans.
