This volume is the result of an initiative of the Commission on the
Coastal Environment of the International Geographical Union. The
initial concept from which the plan has proceeded was presented at
the 24th International Geographical Congress in Japan in 1980.
AUTHORSHIP AND COVERAGE All of the articles in this volume have
been written by specialists familiar with the coastal segment
discussed. Nearly all have been prepared by citizens of the country
(and, for that matter, even each subregion) considered. In the case
of exceptions (e.g. Suriname), the authors have conducted fieldwork
on the coast of the country they treat. In order to preserve the
"on-the-spot" integrity of the volume, it was decided not to fill
in the blanks along the world's coastline with library researched
chapters. Thus, coverage is variable. Nearly every coastal country
in Europe is represented whereas for Africa and South America there
are major gaps. In addition, there are 2 instances of overlap. In
the case of England (with a shoreline of nearly 3,000 km) a
complementary chapter on Lincolnshire (with a shoreline of only 155
km) is included. The other case is the general article on the
Baltic Coast of the USSR which is supported by chapters on Estonia
and Lithuania.
