 with various aspects of estuarine productivity. These are abstracted 

 elsewhere in this bibliography. (See III-A-6, III-A-10, III-B-3, III-E-21

 Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Ciudad Universidad. 686 pp. 



This book contains fifty papers presented at the Symposium on Coastal 

 Lagoons, which was held in Mexico City in November 1967. The symposium 

 was an international conference, and the papers are a fair representation 

 of the state of knowledge of coastal lagoons at the time, including 

 their origin, dynamics, and productivity. Faunal and floral productivity 

 and interrelationships are covered. Four papers relevant to this 

 bibliography, including two on mangroves, are abstracted elsewhere.

The entire study, consisting of a main report and eleven appendixes, 

 was completed in response to a directive from Congress authorizing the 

 Secretary of the Interior to carry out a study of the nation's estuaries 

 in accordance with the Estuary Protection Act (P.L. 90-454). 



Narrative portions of the main report are general in scope and content. 

 Appendix D, on the other hand, represents the results of survey and 

 analysis of present landscape values associated with coastal estuaries 

 within the United States. The report is divided into two parts. 

 Part I introduces a classification system for coastal landscapes 

 and presents a survey and analysis of U.S. coasts. The analysis includes 

 an ecological and landscape assessment of each of the ten U.S. coastal 

 regions identified and delineates these findings onto a series of 

 maps, by region and by resources within that region. The maps, entitled 

 Biotic Resources , carefully define a region according to (1) wetland 

 areas, (2) waterfowl zones, (3) prime shellfish areas, etc.
