The New Jersey Pinelands Management Areas divides the Pinelands area (state and federal) into sub-areas each area having different regulations with regard to development density and permitted uses, providing the foundation for municipal zoning. The layer represents the official boundaries as outlined in the New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan(CMP). The CMP was created in accordance with the "Pinelands Protection Act" legislation. (P.L. 1979, Chapter 111, approved June 28, 1979). For more information on Pinelands Management Areas see section 7:50-5.13 in the New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan.
