The Coastal States Organization was formed in
1970 by twenty-two member states, including
Maryland. Presently, the Organization consists of
delegates appointed by the governors of thirty coas-
tal states and five territories.
The Organization was created to represent the
state governors in ocean and coastal affairs. It is the
stares' leading advocate nationwide for sound
marine practice and policy. The Organization ex-
presses the states' shared interests and concerns in
interstate and federal marine resource programs
and policies. It helps coastal states exert leadership
in developing and implementing national coastal
policy and resolve national coastal issues without
interfering in odier state objectives. The Organiza-
tion provides a nonpartisan forum for debate, dis-
cussion, and resolution 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.
