Abstract | Around the nation the authors see strong environmental protection programs emerging only after evidence of degradation of land, air, and water becomes inescapable. Millions of dollars are poured into the laudable task of 'cleaning up' the Chesapeake or the Great Lakes. The Gulf of Maine is one the world's most productive water bodies. Its plentiful resources supported Native American populations and drew bevies of European settlers to its shores. |
