Title: Planning for a wider range of water levels along Great Lakes
and ocean coasts.
Author: Keillor J. Philip
Citation: "Coastal Management," 18:91-103, 1990.
Year: 90
Program#: WIS-SG-90-900
# Pages: 13
Abstract: The 1985 and 1986 period of record high water levels on the Great Lakes had some similarities to the situation that may eventually confront the ocean coasts if sea levels rise and global warming occurs. Institutional responses to the Great Lakes situation are described and suggested as a dress rehearsal for future responses to predicted sea level rise.

Title: Importance of the nearshore area for sustainable redevelopment
in the Great Lakes with observations on the Baltic Sea.
Author: Harris Hallett J.; Harris Victoria A.; Regier Henry A.;
Rapport David J.
Citation: "Ambio," 17(2):112-120, 1988.
Year: 88
Program#: WIS-SG-88-846
Abstract: The nearshore waters and wetlands play similar ecosystemic
roles in the Baltic and Great Lakes Basins. Nearshore waters and wetlands
are the loci for key self-organization processes within large aquatic
ecosystems. They provide locales and resources for critical reproductive
and feeding periods of large organisms (fish, shellfish, mammals, birds)
that dominate and regulate other species in the aquatic realm. They tend
to modulate sharp influences such as nutrient pulses, floods, etc. The
nearshore waters of the Baltic and Great Lakes have all been degraded
in part, but especially those near industrialized urban centers. Efforts
toward rehabilitation of such ecological slums and toward preservation
of relatively pristine heritage areas are now getting underway, if only
slowly. Recent studies are described for the purposed of comparison and
illustration.

Title: Perceptions of the performance of state coastal zone management
programs in the United States.
Author: Knecht Robert W.; Cicin-Sain Biliana; Fisk Gregory W.
Citation: "Coastal Management," 24:141-163, 1996.
Year: 96
Program#: DEL-SG-11-96
# Pages: 23
Abstract: This article reports the results of a mail survey on
perceptions of the performance of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) programs
by three samples of coastal interests: coastal program managers, coastal
interest groups, and knowledgeable academics. Perceptions of performance
were solicited on four issues: protection of resources, management of
development, improved public access, and reduction of losses due to coastal
hazards. There does not seem to be any significant relationship between
program structure and perceived program performance, but, in general,
coastal user groups and coastal academics believed that state CZM programs
were performing 'well'.
