The purpose of the study was to find ways of improving and enhancing communication between relevant public agencies, industry, and local populations affected by changes in maritime facilities and services and involvement of the public in the planning and decision-making leading up to the changes. Emphasized in the approach to the study was the concept of the process for planning maritime facilities and changes with public involvement. A variety of subject areas were examined: new maritime-related legislation and programs, such as the Deepwater Port Act and the Coastal Energy Impact Program; regulatory procedures at both the state and the federal level; the procedures and guidelines for a variety of programs for public involvement; the legal background and precedents for mitigation of and compensation for adverse effects associated with maritime facilities and services; and the approaches to solving similar problems in Western Europe and Japan.
