ABOUT THE BOOK

Rapid population growth in the southeastern coastal zone has had an important influence on both resource management policy at the federal, state, regional, and local levels and the findings of environmental impact studies. This volume presents papers from a symposium dealing with the complex problems resulting from the ever-increasing development of the southeastern coastal region. Offering an interdisciplinary approach to developing sustainable development concepts, these twenty-six papers represent a variety of disciplines—including economics, environmental health and sciences, marine science, and statistics—and cover such subjects as environmental resources, population trends, and policy issues related to sustainable development.
