Riassunto

Mankind has had a long historical relationship with the coast which once supplied food and security, but later provided locations for industrial and commercial development. Now the emphasis has shifted towards leisure and conservation, although the former functions remain crucial. Scientific knowledge will continue to be the most important basis for resolving the conflicts between coastal users and interest groups such as developers and ecologists. Coastal management has also shifted from traditional restorative or remedial actions towards planned avoidance of other conflicts. This volume includes papers on marine and coastal pollution, eutrophication, aquaculture, conservation and utilization, coastal wetlands, and coastal-zone management.
