Drawing a Line in the Sand: Partisanship & Environmental Issues in U.S. Coastal Regions




The effects of human activities on marine environments along the United States coasts are easily observed. Less apparent, however, are the perceptions of locally focused marine issues by coastal populations living under a variety of social and environmental influences. Researchers from the University of New Hampshire conducted a multiregional study of coastal Americans, finding concern levels regarding environmental issues swayed by (1) local matters such as employment and local society-environment relations, (2) age, gender, and education, and most importantly, (3) ideological influences such as political party. Their results are now available in a free access article from Society and Natural Resources, titled “Environmental Views from the Coast: Public Concern about Local to Global Marine Issues.”
