Agreeing to allow major decision points to be framed as problems in risk reduction through parallel but separate processes of risk assessment and risk management has seemingly added resilience to the policy regime developed through the state's rule-making process. ACF emerges in this study as a ...
Not surprisingly, the widespread and uncontrolled use of TBT-based paints worldwide during the 1970s and 1980s (especially free association paints) resulted in unacceptably high levels of TBT in some coastal areas of intense boat use. The main problems were in enclosed bodies of water with poor...
Using data from a telephone survey of residents of the Puget Sound region of Washington, we investigate how perceptions of the severity of different coastal environmental problems, along with other social factors, affect attitudes about policy options. We find that self-assessed environmental ...
“green-washing” that is meant to deceive the actual reality of continuing to practice a destructive status quo. Based on evidence, it appears that we continue to create problems, not solve them, in spite of all those good intentions we project (or lie about, in some cases). Let’s ...

This approach could then potentially demonstrate the utility of vibrational spectroscopy as an environmental monitoring tool and identify amphibian populations affected by environmental perturbations such as water quality problems prior to any gross declines in population. Results Spatial differences between ...

“The underlying harvest issues in this case are not an anomaly, but rather just one example that demonstrates the problems caused when harvest occurs in the ocean where it is impossible to avoid unintentionally harming threatened and endangered populations or intercepting high proportions of salmon fr...
