"We see the warning signs-the closed fishing seasons, the listing of endangered species, the posted beaches-but we dont have a comprehensive picture of the magnitude of these problems," Griggs, a Marine scientist said." We need a better understanding of how the coastal environment functions and how human activity has affected this zone so we can develop effective and informed environmental policy."
The article that this excerpt was taken from was about a research program started by the University of California, that helps to solve the major management problems facing California's 1,100mile coastline.
The excerpt and the article itself really does tie into the roject and connects to our class because both are trying to get people to gain a better understanding, and become more aware of the water and oceans around us, and what's within the water and the oceans that can make a major impact on not only our society, but the world as well.
