Description: "An Introduction to Coastal Zone Management, second edition, offers a comprehensive overview of coastal planning and management issues for students and professionals. Since publication of the first edition in 1994, population growth and increasing development pressures on our coasts have made the need for forward-looking, creative, and sustainable visions for the future even greater.".

"This is the only book available that addresses the serious coastal trends and pressures in the United States, assesses the current policy and planning framework, and puts forth a compelling vision for future management and sustainable coastal planning."--BOOK JACKET.
