A Letter from the CZM Acting Director Dear Coastlines Reader, We are pleased to present the Winter 2004-2005 edition of Coastlines, the periodic magazine of the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management. This edition focuses on coastal and marine habitat, from the soft coral at the depths beyond the reach of state waters to the sand dunes rising above the shore. Healthy habitats are a critical component of sound coastal management, serving as home to the species that help define the Commonwealth, our economy, and our quality of life. At CZM, we strive to better understand these resources and the complex interactions that sustain them, protect coastal resource areas for their important role as natural habitat, and restore degraded coastal habitats. In addition to the annual Coastlines magazine, CZM produces a monthly electronic newsletter called CZ-Mail. To be added to the mailing list, email czm@state.ma.us. To receive a printed copy by mail, call the CZM Information Line at (617) 626-1212, give your name and address, and specify that you would like to receive CZ-Mail. CZM is continually expanding our website content, so check in frequently at www.mass.gov/czm for information on a range of coastal programs. Also, please feel free to contact us with suggestions or input so we can better provide you with the information and materials you need. Sincerely, Susan Snow-Cotter Acting Director Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
