A storm in the port

Description:

"In the early 1990s the Port of New York and New Jersey were threatened by a dangerous shipping crisis. This book explains the origins, escalation, and specific and broad implications of this port crisis. Lechich explains the science and environmental concerns that come into play, considers solutions to complex dilemmas, and makes clear the desperate need for new ocean policies that tread the delicate line between protecting the world's oceans and preserving their economic and recreational value."--Jacket.
