INTRODUCTION Within the lifetime of many Guam residents individual ability to gain access to the shoreline has changed dramatically. Prior to World War 11, access to the shoreline was, for all practical purposes, unlimited. The population was small, and property owners were well known to all, thereby allowing for "friendly passage" by permission, as is typical with most small island cultures. During this period, the shoreline was used for access to family fishing, recreation, and inter-island trade. With Japanese invasion and occupation in December of 1941, shoreline access rights changed. The coast became the focal point for defense implacements, and access to the residents became extremely restricted. Shoreline usage in the most inaccessible locations continued, but the open shorelines on the western side of the island became more and more restricted as the war wore on. Family fishing nearly disappeared, because the catch became the property of the occupation forces. Inter-island trading, on a personal level, ceased totally and never again reappeared. Use for recreation continued, but was restricted at. the whim of the Japanese, and nearly ceased by 1944. Invasion and "liberation" by American forces in July of 1944 produced yet another change to shoreline access. The military establishment, which had considered Guam as a remote outpost important only as a coaling and refuel- ing station prior to 194 1, now saw the island as an important link in the defense of American interests in the Pacific. With the re-establishment of U.S. military control, the War Department (Department of Defense), began the process of land condemnation and acquisition. The majority of these properties were shoreline inclusive, as the U.S. Navy was to be the dominant authority during this period. Along the more accessible west coast of the island, the entire village of Sumay was taken, and closed to public access. Cocos, a large barrier island in the south, was taken for LORAN usage. Apra Harbor was reserved to the Navy, and limited access was allowed. The U.S. Air Force layed claim to all shoreline contiguous to their cliff-top base on the northern tip of the island, and closed access to other private properties in the surrounding area. A total of 34.5 miles of coastline is presently under restricted, military jurisdiction (out of a total coastline mileage of 116.5 miles). This includes some of the most accessible and usable shoreline properties on the island, which is being utilized as private beach areas for military personnel and their dependents, (see Submerged Lands jurisdiction Map, exhibit 1, this document). With the end of the War, and the lifting of a security restriction on Guam in 1962, the population of the island increased dramatically. Tourism, beginning in the late 1960's has increased the development of, and recreational usage of the shoreline, as has westernization of a rapidly expanding residential base (in terms of individual conceptualization of the exclusive use of private property). 2 These factors, coupled with the military -related reduction in private-public shoreline ownership, has necessitated efforts to identify access, and to examine and evaluate quantity, quality and distribution of access points. This product, Public Access to Shoreline Study (PASS) was under- taken in an effort to address those concerns iterated above. The primary focus of this study is on existing, Government of Guam shoreline properties. Privately owned shoreline properties are investigated in light of perceived future demand, while taking into consideration the sensitive subject of acquisition for public purposes. Military lands are not considered in this study. Although military ownership as experienced on Guam presents a major impediment to shoreline access, the military showed no desire to cooperate in this study, and military and dependent sentiment has been demonstrated in local media as being opposed to public access. The Territorial Beach Areas Act and the Guam Land-Use Policies (established by E.O. 78-37) require that public access to the non-federal shoreline not be alienated and, where possible, additional public access be acquired. It should be noted for general purposes, that in non-federal areas the property seaward of the mean high water line is public property. The focus of this study is on shoreline access as opposed to coastal access. Shoreline is defined as that point at which the ocean meets land. The term coast" is more general and would include the top of a cliffline adjacent to the ocean, but where no access to the ocean is available. 3 While elevated coastal properties are important for ocean vistas, and are, in many cases, appropriate locations for public parks, they do not fall within the scope of this study. Properties identified in the following sections progress in a counterclockwise manner around the island. Please see the location maps on each map page. 4 SR _11- 73 173 W. 65 6 161 .... . ..... 57 157 J@ 53 A 49 45 45 41, A @41 291 129 25 'r., 25 PLANNING BUREAU OF 1977 21 @11-- tft ZL SR 4L-- 4R 5L SL Sft TL-1 7R SL 5 I I I I I I EXISTING SHORELINE ACCESS I I I I I I I I I I I 1 7 1 IL EXISTING SHORELINE ACCESS Existing public shoreline access is provided through government owned coastal lands. On Guam, this public land is either owned or leased by the Government of Guam. For the purposes of this study, existing shoreline access properties are categorized as either park or unimproved shoreline access properties. These categories are further defined in the following subsections. (Information developed on existing shoreline access is to be re-formatted into a booklet illustrating shoreline access and facilities, and made available to the general public). A. SHORELINE PARIS Shoreline parks available to the general public include: Territorial parks, National Park Service (War In The Pacific National Historical Park), military (leased to the Government of Guam), and village park areas (owned by the Government of Guam). The facilities and recreational opportunities range greatly within these parks. Parks included in this section may have little or no supporting facilities, but provide maintained grounds allowing for passive recreation, with unrestricted access to the shoreline. This section serves, primarily, as an inventory of existing shoreline parks and provides the informational base for analysis and determination of existing and future needs for improved and unimproved shoreline access. Information for individual parks include: general locations, road networks, park configuration, support facilities and recreational opportunities. 8 The overwhelming majority of these parks exist along the western side of Guam, for a variety of reasons. First, the majority of the population and the most improved road network are situated along the western coast. Second, the road network tends to run closer to the coastline on the west side of the island. Third, the western side provides nearly all of the enclosed lagoon areas, where shallow, sand-bottomed recreation areas are found. Fourth, the shoreline along the western side is defined by sandy beaches, while the eastern side of the island provides a coastline primarily composed of pitted, pinnacled limestone. 9 Name- TANGUISSON BEACH Location- DEDEDO Lot No.- NAVFAC DWG No. 7,900,555 REASONABLE ACCESS TO PROPERTY?

Many of these properties are not currently being used by the public because information as to their location is not readily available, and there are no signs identifying them as being open to the public. Properties identified in this section include unimproved properties which, because of geological or vegetation characteristics, allow for easy access to the shoreline. Other non-park properties include the sites of existing govenment buildings, rights-of-way or other government facilities (such as pump stations, utility easements, etc.). These properties have been identified as offering reasonable access to and through the property to the shoreline. Reasonable access, for the purpose of this study, is defined as having physical characteristics which allow families to reach the shoreline. If cutting, repelling, or any other activity which would require special equipment or could present unsafe passage is required, the property is not included in this section. The physical characteristics of these properties, along with available shoreline access in the immediate vicinity, are analyzed to determine if the property should be retained for continued, unimproved access. This study does not recommend park development for these areas at this time, because 68 of financial constraints, however, designation for retention of appropriate properties would guarantee shoreline availability for the future. Many of these properties listed in this section are located along the central to southern portion of the island, on both the east and west coast. Because of a lower population base, these areas are not currently under pressure for immediate development. 69 Lot No: A - 3 Location- ASAN REASONABLE ACCESS TO PROPERTY?

GOVGUAM SHORELINE PROPERTIES NOT HAVING ACCESS There are a number of Government of Guam properties along the coast, which have no current access to the shoreline. These properties include rural properties which are not served by road, or properties situated on bluffs or clifflines, from which there is no easy or safe access to the shoreline below. This section identifies those properties and, where possible, an analysis is accomplished to determine the potential for future access. Without a more thorough engineering analysis, the determinations made in this study are quite subjective and open to change. For the most part, the bluff or cliff top properties are located in the northern section of the island. It is recommended that the Department of Parks and Recreation, Agriculture, Land Management and the Guam Environmental Protection Agency review the properties in this and the preceeding section, to determine if improving access would be proper, for those properties identified in the sections. Impacts on habitat and floral communities must be analyzed, as well as possible detrimental impacts on surrounding properties. Economic costs of 86 improvements and for continuing maintenance must also be weighed, as well as public safety considerations. It should be the goal of the Government to provide public access wherever feasible, based on the considerations mentioned above. 87 Lot NO:A(Conservation) 7102,7103 Lmtion- YIGO REASONABLE ACCESS TO PROPERTY7 YES E@ NO EJ REASONABLE ACCESS THROUGH PROPERTY TO SHORELINE?

PRIVATE SHORELINE PROPERTIES While the preceeding sections indicate a somewhat equitable distribution of access properties along the central to southern portion of the island, there are notable exceptions; the areas of Northern Talofofo, Northern Tumon and Merizo. In these areas, all of which are popular with tourists as well as local residents, there is a definite shortage of public access. In these areas, government acquisition may be necessary. One suggestion, which is being made by this study, is the possibility of pursuing public access across private properties through negotiations for development proposals applied for through the Territorial Planning Commission/Terri- torial Seashore Protection Commission. 124 IPAN/YONA COAST ITE TAGACHAN BEACH E u 0.
