    Abstract
    The coastal area of Georgia is one of the most environmentally sensitive regions of the state and is rapidly developing. Much of this development is occurring in concentrated areas along coastal rivers, estuarine creeks, and tidal marshes, with great potential for deterioration of water quality. While all but one coastal county has a zoning ordinance, local governments are presently illequipped to measure, evaluate, or control the environmental effects of ongoing development. The following paper describes key indicators of coastal development, identifies activities having the greatest environmental risks (particularly to water quality), and makes recommendations for improving our ability to manage coastal resources. A primary conclusion is that more information and technical assistance are needed to ensure adequate management of resources.
