that already have them should enforce/strengthen them to control 

 the uses of cstuarine areas for the mutual maximum benefit for 

 all aspects of the copulation. 



Last, but not least, several States believed that they should 

 conduct area studies/research but restrict them to solving problems 

 that exist in the local area. Research and study needs as defined 

 not only by the States but also from numerous other sources, are 

 elaborated separately in Part VI, Chapter 3. 



In summary, the States believe they should manage and control the 

 use, mainly through ownership or restrictive covenants, of estuarine 

 areas. This should be done through an efficiently coordinated 

 State-level management organization, to implement a Statewide 

 comprehensive plan that is supportable or backed up by sufficiently 

 strong regulations and needed research/studies designed to solve 

 problems pertinent to the particular needs of the management organi- 

 zation and the corresponding estuarine resources.
