Canterbury - LWRP - Coastal Marine Area Boundary

Canterbury - LWRP - Coastal Marine Area Boundary - Coastal Marine Area Boundary as shown in the Land and Water Regional Plan. Amendments have been made to the Coastal Marine Area (CMA) Boundary to reflect the change in estuary dynamics as a result of land subsidence following the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence. The CMA boundary is a jurisdictional boundary between the district and regional council. The regional and district councils both have functions landward of the CMA. However, the regional council (in conjunction with the Minister of Conservation) has the function of controlling activities that take place in the CMA.
