Boat speed as percentage of design speed Provided by the Marine Advisory Service at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. Workshop to explain areas of environmental concern A workshop aimed at explaining the importance of dunes, wetlands, estuaries and other unique coastal features which may become "areas of en- vironmental concern" under the state's Coastal Area Management Act will be held March 5 at East Carolina University's Mendenhall student union. Sponsored by the UNC Sea Grant Program, the workshop will feature university scientists who have conducted research in environmentally sensi- tive coastal areas. Program speakers will detail the importance of dunes, wetlands and estuarine wat- ers, as well as certain areas of social and historic significance. According to program organizer Dr. Simon Baker, UNC Sea Grant land-use advisory agent, speakers will provide scientific background on why these areas require special attention. The conference, open to the public, should be of special interest to county, municipal and state officials involved in coastal planning. Under the state's Coastal Area Management Act, lands and waters where development would be unwise are to be labeled "areas of environmental concern," and development in these areas is to be closely controlled. Keynote speaker for the workshop is Glenn J. Akins, chief planner of Oregon's Coastal Conserva- tion and Development Commission. Akins will discuss Oregon's experiences in designating "areas of particular concern" as called for in that state's coastal management act.
