Download or read book Narragansett Bay written by Lewis M. Alexander and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the people who live in the Narragansett Bay area, the Bay is important for various forms of marine resource use, such as recreation, shellfishing, commercial navigation, for naval installations, and as a disposal area for sewage and industrial wastes. Some of these uses are in direct conflict with one another, as between sewage disposal and sellfishing or shoreline use for industry and for private residences. In order to examine the salient factors in land/sea interaction in the Bay area, a marine use profile has been worked out, involving such elements as marine resource availability, existing demand for these resources, and present forms of marine resource use. From these, the nature and extent of marine orientation in this particular coastland can be analyzed. It is postulated that marine use profiles may be meaningful for studying other coastal areas of the world, particularly in terms of marine orientation - a concept which may in time come to have political and legal connotations with respect to control of marine resources beyond a country's territorial waters.
