Dysfunctional Coastal Development Causes Widespread Coastal Degradation
- Coastal population growth is not the whole story. It is actually a fairly short chapter in a much longer book. Runaway land consumption, dysfunctional suburban development patterns, and exponential growth in automobile use are the real engines of pollution and habitat degradation on the coast. Excerpt from the recent Pew Oceans report, "Coastal Sprawl: The Effects of Urban Design on Aquatic Ecosystems in the United States" at http://www.pewoceans.org/articles/2002/04/25/brief_25978.asp
