165F: Provisions about occupation of common marine and coastal area
or “Rules about how people can use shared ocean and coastal areas”
You could also call this:

“A plan can say how to share out space in the coastal area for different activities.”

A regional coastal plan or proposed regional coastal plan can include a rule about how to allocate space in the common marine and coastal area for different activities. This means the plan can decide how to give out permissions for using this area. The plan might say that they’ll use a public tender, which is like a competition where people or companies can offer to use the space. Or, the plan might choose a different way to give out these permissions. This helps organise how the coastal area is used and who gets to use it.
