Abstract
The coastal commissions were provided statutorially guaranteed autonomy and had sweeping formal powers over all development in the 1000-yard interim permit area. Nevertheless, there was a wide range of external forces that would affect their decisions. We now turn to a brief sketch of these forces, beginning with the pressures created by the changing needs and resources of the state’s population, public opinion, and media attention. Then examined are the roles played by organized interest groups, the commissions’ legal superiors (i.e., the legislature, governor, courts and U.S. Office of Coastal Zone Management), and peer agencies in the state government and their local counterparts.
