Volume II Discusses growth of coastal communities and effects 

 on living resources induced by OCS and related 

 onshore oil and gas development; reports methods 

 for forecasting characteristics of community develop- 

 ment; describes employment characteristics for 

 specific activities and onshore facilities; and 

 reviews environmental impacts of probable types of 

 development. 



Volume III Describes the potential effects of OCS development 

 on living resources and habitats; presents an inte- 

 grated system for assessment of a broad range of 

 impacts related to location, design, construction, 

 and operation of OCS-related facilities; provides a 

 comprehensive review of sources of ecological 

 disturbance for OCS related primary and secondary 

 development. 



Volume IV Analyzes the regulatory framework related to OCS 

 impacts; enumerates the various laws governing 

 development offshore; and describes the regulatory 

 framework controlling inshore and onshore buildup 

 in support of OCS development. 



Volume V In five parts, reports current and anticipated OCS 

 development in each of five coastal regions of the 

 United States: New England; Mid and South Atlantic: 

 Gulf Coast; California; and Alaska, Washington and 

 Oregon. 



John Clark was The Conservation Foundation's project director for 

 the OCS project. He was assisted by Dr. Jeffrey Zinn, Charles Terrell 

 and John Banta. We are grateful to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

 for its financial support, guidance and assistance in every stage 

 of the project.
