Estuaries: Finding the Balance
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/11/g912/tgestuaries.html


This lesson will examine the conflict between development and the environment, and the attempts for a sound compromise while still helping the earth sustain the economic growth, expansion, and pressure we are exerting on its natural resources. Using estuaries as a case study, students will be encouraged to consider the interaction between environmental and economic demands, and to seek a balance that will protect both the estuarine habitat and economic growth.
