 OVERALL ESTUARINE MANAGEMENT, A SUMMARIZATION BY CASE STUDY 



SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION 



Having presented In the orevious Chapters of this Part of the Study 

 the roles and programs of various levels of government, it is desired 

 at this point to present a picture of how and how well these programs 

 are working. To do so the case study approach has been adopted and 

 two major estuarine zones selected for review and evaluation. 



The method of operation here will be to present a reasonably complete 

 description of the estuarine zone, its uses and resources, the major 

 problems and dangers facing it, and conditions resulting from these. 

 Then there will be described the programs and activities of the 

 various levels of government being carried out in each case and an 

 attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs. 



Any comprehensive program of management should contain to some extent 

 the following elements: 



(1) Mutually agreed-upon policy objectives and functions 



(2) Legislative authorization to carry out the programs 

 functional activities 



(3) Development of the basic knowledge necessary for effect- 

 ive management 



(4) Provisions for planning and implementation 



(5) Active administration in terms of regulation, control, 

 and coordination
