Coastal areas are home to a wealth of natural resources & are rich with diverse species, habitat types, & nutrients. They also sustain a wealth of economic activity. Employment, recreation & tourism, waterborne commerce, & energy & mineral prod'n. are driving forces of pop'n. migration to these areas. But the qualities that make coastal areas so desirable are the very ones that have led to their endangerment, making them vulnerable to pollution, habitat degradation & loss, overfishing, invasive species, & sea-level rise. This report provides coastal pop'n. data, trends, & projections, & is intended to help provide insight as to where coastal pop'n. change has occurred in the past few decades & where it is likely to occur in the next 5 years.
