Who approves local shoreline master programs?

Each local government approves its program after a public review and comment period. Then local government sends the shoreline master program to Ecology, who reviews it for consistency with state guidelines. Ecology must approve the locally approved and submitted master program, before it takes effect. To ensure respect for private property rights, local and state legal authorities are required to review a shoreline program before formal adoption.
