TIDAL SHORELINE PERMIT DATABASE

We also maintain a Microsoft Access database that houses Virginia tidal shoreline erosion control permit records. These public records were obtained from Joint Permit Applications (JPA) submitted to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) between 1970 and the present. This database contains JPA permit records and other information, if available:

Project shoreline site characteristics and geo-locations
CCRM project category type and living shoreline status
Permit agents and marine contractors
Local wetlands board permit decisions
Preferred shoreline management recommendations from CCRM’s Shoreline Management Model
Year built

The Tidal Shoreline Permit Database is continually updated with new and historic information as it becomes available. These permit-related data are used to support various CCRM coastal resources management activities and are shareable upon request. [[CCRMinfo, Contact Us]] to submit a request.
