RELATING TO BEACH PROTECTION AND COASTAL ACCESS.

Amends the beach protection policy of the coastal zone management program to recognize that unauthorized structures, materials, armoring, or hardening structures, including seawalls and revetments, sandbags, geotextile fabrics, and sand burritos, placed in the shoreline are a nuisance per se. Strengthens state and county abatement and cost recovery authority of, and allows citizen suits for, this type of nuisance.
