Coastal Use Permits
Applying for a Coastal Use Permit (CUP)
The Coastal Use Permit (CUP) process is part of the Louisiana Coastal Resources Program (LCRP),
which is an effort among Louisiana citizens, as well as state, federal and local advisory and
regulatory agencies to preserve, restore, and enhance Louisiana's valuable coastal resources.
The purpose of the Coastal Use Permit process is to make certain that any activity affecting
the Coastal Zone, such as a project that involves either dredging or filling, is performed in
accordance with guidelines established in the LCRP. The guidelines are designed so that development
in the Coastal Zone can be accomplished with the greatest benefit and the least amount of damage.
We are, therefore, providing the following information concerning the steps involved in applying
for a CUP. Submitting an application for a CUP does not imply that a CUP will be required; application
is simply one step in following the Rules and Procedures for CUP's so that the Coastal Zone will
be protected.
