CAMA Handbook for Coastal Development April 2014 How to Use This Guide This Handbook is designed to help you understand what types of projects require CAMA Development permits, the Development regulations you will have to follow, and how following those rules helps protect the natural resources that draw people to North Carolina's Coastal counties in the first place. Although this guide discusses regulations, it is not an official statement of North Carolina Coastal Development regulations and may not be relied on in lieu of those regulations in undertaking Coastal Development . All Coastal Development projects subject to CAMA must be approved by the Division of Coastal Management.
In 1972, Congress passed the Coastal Zone Management Act, which encouraged states to keep our coasts healthy by establishing programs to manage, protect and promote our country's fragile coastal resources. Two years later, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the landmark Coastal Area Management Act, known as CAMA.
