Policies of national, state and local governments are critically examined and contrasted, as appropriate, with policies of overseas coastal nations. Constituency building is introduced with the associated tools necessary for coastal managers. The interdisciplinary nature of coastal resources, problems, conflicts and issues are highlighted.
