Abstract

In the previous chapters, we examined how sector-based management has been used to govern wastewater, oil dredging, and wetlands, with varying degrees of success. As we have seen, this approach is fundamentally reactive. A particular group or industry proposes a specific activity, such as dredging a harbor or disposing of sewage, and government responds by evaluating that activity and then issuing a permit if it is deemed acceptable. Unfortunately, the entity proposing the activity and the government body responding to the proposal rarely consider the cumulative effects of combined uses in a coastal land and/or sea area.
