	Coastal Program
		National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grants are awarded each year to coastal States for the acquisition, restoration, or enhancement of coastal wetland ecosystems.
		A "coastal ecosystem" includes estuaries and coastal waters and lands located at the lower end of drainage basins, where stream and river systems meet the sea and are mixed by tides.
		Today, these species and their habitats face serious threats in coastal regions from human population growth and the development and disturbance that are often a consequence of growth.

		Human development of coastal land, particularly for recreational or industrial uses are similarly threatened by sea level rise, but also contribute to aesthetic problems of land use and reduced natural coastal habitat.
		Another major hazard for coastal marine life is the large number of small oil spills created by large and small vessels powered by petroleum which flush bilge water directly into the ocean.
		Coastal weather is heavily influenced by the ocean and while this can sometimes result in dangerous storms such as Nor'easters and hurricanes, the coastal climate is often cooler and more temperate than corresponding inland areas.

	California's Coastal Mountains
		California's coastal mountains trace a sinuous 800-mile course from the northwest corner of Del Norte County south to the Mexican border.
		The geologic history of California's coastal mountains begins several hundred million years ago when, according to current geologic theory, movement of the earth's crust set in motion the processes that created the coastal ranges.
		Along this zone, folding of the sea floor along the margin of the North American Plate resulted in the creation of the Coast and Transverse ranges, which are composed of the crushed, crumpled, and folded sea floor sediments.
