| Abstract | There are many user interests on coasts and in estuaries, including economic activities (ports, harbours, navigation, fishing, mineral extraction), recreation (bathing, walking, sailing, fishing, birdwatching), flood defence, water quality, nature conservation, and conservation of the historical and archaeological heritage. Often these interests are conflicting, and managers frequently have to attempt a compromise or make hard decisions based on a prioritized course of action which reflects economic, political and legal constraints (see, for example, Barrett 1992; Kay & Alder 1999; Flemming 2000). |
