EAGLES, Judge.

The issue before us is whether appellants are entitled to a contested case hearing under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) to contest the Department of Transportation's decisions as to what measures are appropriate to protect the southern end of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge from erosion. We hold that appellants are entitled to a contested case hearing.
