The coastal zone is the end of the road for watersheds; it's where waterways eventually drain to the sea. It provides a special setting as water, weather, sand dunes, rocks and cliffs, and coastal plants and animals converge. It is also a mainstay to the American economy in terms of employment, transportation, recreation and living. |
