MISSING ELEMENTS
1. Outreach
- Enhance technical and
financial assistance to localities to implement the CBPA
- Expand public
education using all types of media
2. Regulation
- VDACS better enforcement
of Ag Stewardship Act
- SW mandate
stormwater ordinance implementation
- E&S full local
implementation
3. Authority
4. Monitoring
- Develop effective/adequate
monitoring of water quality throughout the coastal zone (especially
seaside Eastern shore, small streams, public beaches)
- Establish and
maintain fisheries/living resource stock assessment
5. Planning/coordination
- Establish
coordination between state programs, and state and local management
programs
6. Research
- Expand understanding
of water quality impacts on living resources
- Develop stream
reference reach data based on physical, habitat and biological
characteristics
7. Definition of management targets
- Identify what species
to protect/improve
- Develop “endpoints”
for ocean coastal waters
