Description:The problems observed along the coastal zone have increased our awareness of the need to preserve, protect, and restore our nation's coastal resources. In response, management schemes and regulations are developed. One such managment effort can be the application of vegetated buffers for use in the coastal zone. While great emphasis is being placed on the use of vegetated buffers to abate nonpoint source degradation of waterways, it makes both good sense and good economics to pursue a multiple-use application of the vegetated buffer concept in coastal ecosystems. It is the intent of this document to formulate concepts and ideas pertaining to the development of vegetated regions along the coastal zone that provide multiple benefits once implemented. This review attempts to synthesize a broad spectrum of buffer benefits, effectiveness, and the variables that determine effectiveness. A large bibliography accompanies the article.
