Abstract
The purpose of this guidebook is to reduce a vast stockpile of ecological data to a few simple principles, by means of which to improve our use of coastal lands and waters. The need for improvement should be apparent to anyone who has examined a number of the Nation's coastal ecosystems and found true a Federal report that all but 25 percent of them are seriously degraded by the polluting effects of civilization.
