Coastal Resources

__________________
A vast majority of the world's population lives in the coastal zone, at the edge of land and sea. We live in mega-cities; we dispose of our industrial, agricultural, and human waste into streams and rivers that lead to the ocean; we look to coastal resources to support our growing urban populations, our demand for food and energy, and our need for recreation and personal renewal.
