Description:Volume 1 of the Rhode Island Ocean Special Area Management Plan (Ocean SAMP) which was adopted by the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council October 19, 2010. The process to both develop the Ocean SAMP as well as establish policies and regulations is guided by goals and principles that were developed in coordination with the Ocean SAMP researchers and stakeholder group. The Ocean SAMP Goals highlight the commitment by CRMC to: foster a properly functioning ecosystem that is both ecologically sound and economically beneficial; promote and enhance existing uses; encourage marine-based economic development that considers the aspirations of local communities and is consistent with and complementary to the state’s overall economic development, social, and environmental needs and goals; and build a framework for coordinated decision-making between state and federal management agencies. The goals for the Ocean SAMP are to: a. Foster a properly functioning ecosystem that is both ecologically sound and economically beneficial. b. Promote and enhance existing uses. c. Encourage marine-based economic development that considers the aspirations of local communities and is consistent with and complementary to the state’s overall economic development, social, and environmental needs and goals. d.
