Survey report:Recent progress in the operation and implementation of coastal zone management programs in the U.S. is surveyed. The provisions of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 are examined. The range of concerns involved in coastal zone management policies, including conservationism, politics, and energy engineering, are thought to fragment the efforts underlying coastal zone studies. Coastal zone problems and remedying management policies are considered for Florida, New Jersey, Washington, and California. Recent advances in coastal mapping methods are addressed.
