This paper treats the shore zones, such as reefs, salt marshes,
mangroves, salt ponds or now nice covered Arctic shores and coastal fisheries
and aquaculture or some lands now wrested from the sea for agriculture, which
are not likely to receive the same degree of attention as the cities with
regard to sea level rise. The paper deals firs t with living resources, then
with physical resources such as sand and gravel, or salt making, as well as
with certain uses of the sea or the shore such as waste disposal or
recreation, and ends with a discussion of specific environments.

Trawl Fisheries; A Nonparametric Frontier Production Analysis."
Draft report, Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of
Tromso, Breivika, 9037 Tromso, Norway.
This paper focuses on efficiency in trawler vessels operating in the
Norwegian cod fisheries. In the last 10 to 15 years, the trawler fleet and
the corresponding land-based industry have gone through considerable
structural changes. The trawler fleet is composed into two segments; those
delivering fresh/chilled cod to the land-based industry and those vessels
producing the catch on board into fillets and thus bypassing the land-based
industry. The increasing number of factory trawlers have resulted in regional
and political conflicts. There has been a lack of economic analysis comparing
the productivity in factory trawlers contra fresh fish trawlers and land-based
production. Productivity measurement based on nonparametric frontiers have
become a standard procedure for analyzing the performance of production units.
The efficiency analysis used by us is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
where miro data from the trawler fleet is used to define a nonparametric best
practice frontier which shows the total factor productivity of each unit
relative to that frontier in the period 1985 to 1996. The results shows the
structural efficiency of the trawler fleet with respect to size, processing
technology, quota restrictions and variations in vessel specific productivity.

This chapter reviews the natural resource trends during the last twenty
years for the United States including abundance, unit costs, and prices, and
the environmental effects of meeting the needs for natural resources.

The authors address the man/land or the population/resource problem
afresh, in terms of the latest statistical information and modern analytical
tools. They have re-examined the propositions propounded by Malthus, Ricardo,
and John Stuart Mill; and they have thought deeply about the roots of the
American Conservation Movement associated with Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford
Pinchot as these roots may be traced back into Darwinism and the speculations
of George Marsh. They have emerged with a clearer view of where the essence
of the problem is now to be found and what it means for people today.
