“Smart Growth for Coastal and Waterfront Communities,” a 60-page report explaining how smart-growth strategies can be applied in coastal and waterfront areas, was released in September by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the US EPA, the International City/County Management Association, and Rhode Island Sea Grant. The guide, developed in conjunction with the Smart Growth Network, can be downloaded at http://coastalsmartgrowth.noaa.gov.
