Do the rules surrounding “best available science” apply to shoreline master programs?

No. Current science is the basis for shoreline master programs while “best available science” is a term from the state Growth Management Act, and does not apply to shoreline master programs. Shoreline management requires use of the “most current, accurate and complete scientific and technical information” as the basis for decision making.
