Marine Technical Report 74
ACKOOWLEDGEMerrS
This report is one result of the Coastal Resources Center's long-standing
interest and concern for energy issues. Most of the basic ideas in the
present work were developed during the process of preparing the Energy
amendments to the Rhode Island Coastal Management Program for the Coastal
Resources Management Council in 1977 and 1978. Malcolm Grant of Resource
Management Systems played a key role in that effort. Stephen Olsen,
Coordinator of the Center, guided both the development of the Council's
findings, policies and regulations on energy and the preparation of this
paper, insisting upon pragmatism, accuracy and clarity in thought,
action, and prose. Stephen Sedgwick, Assistant Coordinator, is an
active participant in the energy dialogue at the Center and did nearly
all the work which formed the basis of Chapter III, Global Influences
on the Rhode Island Situation. Clement Griscom reviewed drafts and
shared countless thoughts and bits of information, particularly regarding
the efforts of the New England Energy Congress. Dale Brown, Ruth Folit,
Marilyn Deldonno and Bob Sand contributed to the overall effort in
various ways,;
Debi Clarke helped in all phases of report preparation, including format
design, typing and more typing, and expediting. Joanne Rose drafted
some of the figures. Vicki Desjardins of the University of Rhode Island
Publications Office edited the final copy.
The preparation of this publication was financed in part by a planning
grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under
the provisions of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (Public Law
92-583), through the Integrated Grant Administration program administered
as part of Federal Regional Council grant FRC-JF-Ol-ll.
