(4) To employ procedures and practices that resolve conflicts among competing uses within the coastal zone in accordance with the purpose of this Subpart and simplify administrative procedures. (5) To develop and implement a coastal resources management program which is based on consideration of our resources, the environment, the needs of the people of the state, the nation, and of state and local government.
