Overview

Discusses efforts to balance use of the goods and services produced by coastal ecosystems with the equitable distribution of the consequent welfare gains and losses. The 33 papers describe basic scientific concepts, the natural variability of coastal zone environments, the effects of human activities, valuation of coastal resources, and adjacent seas. Topics include relative sea-level rise, fixed link projects in Denmark, learning from integrated coastal management experiences, valuing mangrove-fishery linkages in Mexico, and an action plan to clean up the Baltic Sea. The articles are reprinted from journals, magazines, and books published in the 1990s. No subject index.
