Abstract
In April 1991 the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment, Recreation and the Arts presented a report to the Australian Parliament on the protection of the coastal environment. The report follows an extensive public inquiry by the parliamentary committee during which it visited various parts of the Australian coastline and held discussions with approximately 500 people from all sections of the community. Some of the major current issues of the coastal zone identified by the committee are: the fragmentation of public decision‐making, sewage disposal into the ocean, and endemic conflict among competing interest groups. The committee recommended that the Australian government develop a national coastal zone management strategy in cooperation with state and local governments.
