There are diverse and dynamic social values for natural resources in coastal ecosystems. Conversely,these social values play a role in natural resource policy and management. Failure to address human dimensions goals has been seen in many coastal restoration projects. This review provides a discussion of 10 human dimensions goals. These include:to develope coastal recreation and tourism;to enhance community investment;to enhance educational opportunities;to protect or improve human health;to protect traditional,cultural and historic values;to enhance non-marked values and improve aesthetic values;to improve general market activity;to reduce property damage/enhance property value;to enhance transportation and commerce;to improve commercial fisheries and shellfisheries.
