From page 170...
... Restoration and management of specific habitat types, such as seagrass beds and coastal dune systems, are of particular significance in the Gulf, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific, New England, and Canadian Pacific regions. Shoreline stabilization and protection are considered important in the Gulf, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Southeast, and, particularly, the Great Lakes region.

From page 171...
... The perception of resources as common property, especially fisheries, is viewed as a major impediment in the development of artificial reef programs. The use of obsolete dredging technology was cited as another hindrance, although recourse appears available in advanced pump design and plant automation (Herbich, 1992b)

From page 172...
... speaks clearly to an apparent nationwide phenomenon of inadequate training, inadequate education, and inadequate knowledge. It draws into question the capability of many practitioners to perform credibly that might by suggested by a demonstrated commitment to building requisite engineering and scientific knowledge among those entering the field and continuing throughout their professional development programs.
