Formed in 1970, the Coastal States Organiza-
tion was created to represent state governors in
oceanic and coastal affairs. The Organization ex-
presses the states' shared interests and concerns in
interstate and federal marine resource programs
and policies. It helps coastal states develop and
implement national coastal policy and resolve na-
tional coastal issues without interfering in other
state objectives. The Organization provides a non-
partisan forum for debate, discussion, and resolu-
tion of national coastal issues and problems. As an
information clearinghouse, it also supplies coastal
research and data analysis to Congress, member
states, the media, and the general public.
Presently, the Organization consists of delegates
appointed by the governors of thirty coastal states
and five territories. Maryland has been a member
since 1970.
