Coastal Zone 97, The Next 25 Years. Conference Proceedings, Volume 1 and Volume 2. Martin C. Miller, Jessica Cogan. July 1997. 506 pp., 460 pp.

Coastal Zone 97 was the tenth in an important series of international meetings started in 1978 dealing with the management of coastal and marine resources. This was a particularly significant year for the Coastal Zone 97 conference because for the first time it was held in New England. This document is comprised of abstracts that reflect the best of some 600 papers submitted for presentation at the conference, which represent more than 30 countries. These two volumes completely cover the plenary session papers, oral presentations, and poster presentation abstracts which were presented during the proceedings of the conference. There was a wide range in the topics covered. To provide an example of this diversity here are to paper titles: (1) integrating science and management: the Massachusetts Bays Program experience and (2) effectiveness of diver education in the Florida Keys. The conference was hosted by the Boston Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts from July 19th to the 25th, 1997.
