Renwick HL. 1990. History of scientific research for gateway islands national seashore
During the 1960's and 1970's, a series of National Seashores and National Recreation Areas were created by the National Park Service (NPS) along the nation's water boundaries. Unlike many of the more remote, tradi tional National Parks, many of these newer units are adjacent to or within major urban areas, and hence are subject to very heavy human use. In an effort to balance human and natural interests, the Center for Coastal and Environmental Studies (CCES), as part of its 1983 Cooperative Research Agreement with the NPS, in 1984 began an information-collecting project aimed at better resource management for the East Coast barrier island NPS units.
