Facilitate managed retreat through land acquisition, zoning changes, development restrictions, and/or other regulatory tools as appropriate. Planning to retreat from hazardous areas will require deliberate, long-range planning and the use of several planning tools. For instance, increasing setback requirements could reduce risks to new development. An assessment of the Lummi Coastal Zone Management Program and update to the Coastal Lummi Nation Coastal Zone Management Plan (1988) are currently underway, providing an excellent opportunity to plan for climate change. Other programmatic updates should also include consideration of potential climate change impacts on the Reservation.
