SUMMARIZATION OF VIEWS AND ANSWERS IN TABLE V.5.3f 



No one organizational recommendation dominated table V.5.3f, but 

 the general opinion was that the organization had to include repre- 

 sentation from beyond the immediate estuarine jurisdiction (56), and 

 should include nongovernment representation (55) . 



Most frequently recommended were joint, intergovernmental orga- 

 nizations — Federal-State-local (111), State-local (22), Federal-State 

 (3), etc. 



Also recommended, especially in the case of interestate estuaries, 

 was a regional body, which would include appropriate Federal, State, 

 and local government representation (38) . 



Several participants felt that the present system works well, but 

 that it needs more power, especially of enforcement (12). However, 

 these people were in the minority. 



Most felt that, regardless of the nature of the management orga- 

 nization, it should be so established as to avoid duplication of function 

 and effort (implied in virtually all answers) .
