A Regionally Important Resource (RIR) is any natural or cultural resource identified for protection by a Regional Commission (RC), following the minimum requirements established by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

The intent of this plan is to provide an enhanced focus on protection and management of important natural and cultural resources throughout the region, careful consideration of, and planning for, impacts of new development on these important resources, and improved local, and regional coordination for the protection and management of these important resources.
