Stewart. ; "University of North Carolina sea grant reprint no. 83." ; Preface: "Among the most valuable resources of the Southeastern United States are its coastal lands and waters. The coastal areas, and in particular their estuaries, are among the most biologically productive regions of the nation, spawning major sports and commercial fisheries. The extremely high recreational and esthetic values of coastal lands and waters carry the seeds of their own destruction through their attractiveness for economic development. In recent years these areas and their fragile ecosystems have been threatened with increasing pressures for development. Unless these pressures are controlled and directed in a conscious way, the very features of the coast that make it economically, esthetically, and ecologically rich will be damaged, even destroyed. A major problem associated with increasing population growth and economic development in these areas is the provision of safe and adequate water supplies and management of wastewater discharges in a manner consistent with public health and welfare and environmental protection."--P.iii. ; Includes bibliographical references.
