ABSTRACT
It seems so long ago that we began the review of coastal pollution sketched briefly in these pages. This, the last chapter, should logically be a summing up of information covered and (for the author) the growing realization that so little of the total story has been included. Every chapter could be and should be of book length. Because this is not likely, an alternative might be to attempt the reverse — a
précis
of the topics covered to see if the distillation process releases additional juices of insight and wisdom.
