The State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act of 1978 (La. R.S. 49:214.21 et seq.) requires Coastal Use Permits for development within the Louisiana Coastal Zone. The Department of Energy and Natural Resources administers permits statewide.
Under R.S. 49:214.21-214.42, any use of coastal lands or waters that has direct and significant impact, including dredging, filling, levee construction, bulkheading, and shoreline modification, requires a Coastal Use Permit (CUP) from the Office of Coastal Management within the Department of Energy and Natural Resources. Routine activities, normal residential repair, and certain agriculture are exempt. Coastal parishes may adopt Local Coastal Programs to issue permits for limited uses, but state oversight and consistency review remain mandatory. Federal projects must obtain federal consistency determinations under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act, which Louisiana administers.
Conducting permitted-activity work without a CUP, exceeding permit conditions, or failing wetland mitigation requirements can result in cease-and-desist orders, restoration mandates, and civil penalties up to $12,000 per day under R.S. 49:214.36.
