| Abstract: | Although the organizing committee for the 2007 Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) Biennial Conference and its
international members supported the inclusion of sustainability science as a thematic element of the meeting, a preliminary
review of program abstracts, conducted by entering various combinations of key words into the conference search engine, identified
only 50 individual abstracts that incorporated one or more of the key words, or 3.8% of the 1,300 papers presented. Moreover,
only 25 abstracts (1.9%) made specific reference to the integration of the natural and social sciences in emerging coastal
research priorities. In this context, a framework is presented for incorporating the concepts of sustainable development,
sustainability science, especially for the urban coast, and human dimensions into the amalgam of future US and international
CERF research. |
