Abstract
People are drawn to the sea. The number of individuals who live, work, and play along the coasts is larger than ever before and continuing to grow. Each day, this burgeoning population uses the coasts in a multitude of ways—for waste disposal, shipping, recreation, fishing, energy, housing, and many other aspects of life. Although these various activities may appear unrelated, they are connected through the flows of water, migration of organisms, dispersal of pollutants, human livelihoods, and community needs.
