From page 1...
... The California regional symposium, convened in November 1992, was the first symposium in the series. Participants from state and federal agencies, universities, and the state legislature focused on three issues that are important in California: coastal habitat mitigation strategies, coastal sediment and water quality, and cumulative impacts of development.

From page 2...
... Symposium participants who focused on strategies for mitigation of coastal habitat degradation concluded that enough scientific information exists to improve mitigation projects significantly. Strict performance measures, based on scientific evidence, must be developed to measure the extent to which the mitigation objectives are achieved.

... - ~ ~ _ ~ , ~ ~ ~ __ There is a great need for social science input regarding existing institutional capacities and possible strategies for changing institutions to enable better management of cumulative impacts There are three critical elements of a rational scheme to manage cumulative impacts: (~) conceptual clarity of the management goal, (2)
