Rules for renovations on waterfront in NH

I always thought (maybe because Maines has these restrictions) that build/renovating close to the water (<250ft) was basically not possible. Maine has the 30% rule which means that the house can only be expanded 30% once and if that's been used it can't be. Does NH have something similar? The only rules I can find is permits have to be granted if it's closer than 250ft, anything closer than 50ft basically won't be approved but other than that it seems open. Is this true?
