Over seven hundred experts and concerned citizens from around the world gathered in Halifax, Nova Scotia to exchange ideas and information about the development and exploitation of resources in the world's coastal zones. This publication, the sixth and final volume of the proceedings of Coastal Zone Canada '94, presents the collective results of the conference workshops, roundtable discussions, plenary sessions, and keynote addresses. In addition, Volume 6 contains the Call to Action, which represents a synthesis of the findings of the conference, focusing particularly upon the many recommendations that were made during four days of intensive deliberation.
