• Description:
  Estuaries are delicate and finite resources. Runoff from residential and commercial development, diversion of water flows, industrial discharges, commercial and recreational fishing, sewage disposal, and channel dredging are factors which test an estuary's limits as a natural sponge and nursery ground. Diverse and often conflicting activities coexist on an estuary, and lack of proper management could result in serious economic and environmental consequences. The purpose of this conference was to explore the values of estuaries (with emphasis on South Carolina), how they are impacted and how best they can be managed. The presentations of estuarine experts from up and down the east and Gulf coasts are recorded, in addition to the discussions of representatives from regulatory agencies, citizens' groups, the South Carolina State Ports Authority and state legislature.
