A report [http://www.csc.noaa.gov/publications/Human_Use_Mapping_Final_Report.pdf A Review and Summary of Human Use Mapping in the Marine and Coastal Zone] was published in December 2010.  This report was prepared by ERG for NOAA's Coastal Services Center. The report evaluated different methods and approaches to measure human uses of the coastal and marine environment. The uses were divided into 1) military and industrial uses, 2) consumptive uses (e.g., fishing) and 3) non-consumptive activities (e.g., swimming, surfing, kayaking).
