Who this typically touches

Business types a matter in this class typically reaches. Our inference from the class, not the record's words; a specific organization is named on these pages only when the record itself names it.

Likely to gain: marine construction and dredging contractors (harbor plans and pier projects are where the funded work is listed); coastal and waterfront engineering firms (a harbor plan is a commissioned study before it is a project).

Likely affected: commercial fishing and aquaculture operators (mooring, access and working-waterfront rules decide where they can operate).
