Identifying and Solving Beach Health Problems Requires Looking at the Big Picture
- "Natural systems don't recognize state or local boundaries. Many coastal zone regions share common problems. Erosion of barrier islands is a concern in Florida and the Carolinas. Inadequate public access to the shore is a problem in many locations. Water quality is an issue for Michigan, Wisconsin, and all the states that hug the Great Lakes shores. The same can be said for the states surrounding Chesapeake Bay and Long Island Sound. Exploring issues and treating problems in isolation can lead to incorrect or incomplete solutions, as well as missed opportunities." - excerpt from the 'Findings' section of the Surfrider Foundation's 2004 STATE OF THE BEACH report at http://www.beach.com/stateofthebeach2004/03-fd/body.asp?sub=f6
