Development

It is no secret that our nation’s coasts are facing tremendous development pressures, be it from industrial, residential or commercial uses.  But there are ways that development can, not only coexist with other uses and values, but add to the vitality and sustainability of our coastlines. What are the main development pressures around your coasts and what is being done to engage them in betterstewardship of our natural resources?  How do your actions affect the way your coastal community develops and how might you make a change?  These are questions that coastal dwellers and developers must ask with increasing frequency as the population on the world’s coasts increases.
