Welcome to my curation site for all things coastal management-related.
Here you will find an array of stories, media, factoids, and updates on current events spanning a range of coastal and marine issues. While we are interested in a great many things, most of these entries center upon efforts to restore coastal ecosystems and improve the management of these incredibly dynamic parts of our planet.
In particular, you will find postings here that reflect a deep, continuing interest in:
- coastal riparian restoration
- coastal wetland restoration
- the coastal imaginary
- deep sea mining
- plastic pollution (especially microplastic)
- subtidal reef restoration
- improved Coastal Zone Managment poilcies and proceedures
- coastal agriculture/food systems
- sustainable fisheries management
- working ports and harbors
- vibrant ocean economies
- marine ecology
- natural history
- coastal energy production
- oil spills
- water quality and ecotoxicology in the coastal zone
- historic coastal perspectives and our relationship to our world ocean

While I have at times seen some pretty poor examples of public relations and less than optimal choices in the context of resource management, likening BLM to militants or WWII villains is difficult for me to get my head around. This seems another case of extremist political jockeying and fear mongering for political goals, the resources and the facts be damned.
One need look only to the racist, bizarre ramblings of Mr. Bundy or the murder spree two of his supporters went on in the suburbs of Las Vegas as evidence for the fact fostering such "us vs. them" mentality has negative consequences well beyond the natural resource dimensions of the western U.S.
