From the Foreword:
"Puerto Rico and the Sea" is a citizen's report on marine affairs to Governor Luis A. Ferre. It prescribes an action program for the Commonwealth with the aim of enlarging the well-being of Puerto Rico by taking prudent advantage of its great natural resource--the sea. (…) About one hundred citizens of Puerto Rico participated in "Puerto Rico and the Sea"; most of them actively worked on the committees. Many of these people have for years, worked on matters involving the sea and its meaning to Puerto Rico. These participants included scientists, planners, lawyers, journalists, bankers, students, builders, governmental officials, and academicians. (…)The research and writing for "Puerto Rico and the Sea" was done mainly by six Subcommittees, which had assignments in major fields of marine opportunities: - Living Resources - Recreation - Coastal Zone Management - Research and Development - Institutional Arrangements - Role of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Area. The Institutional Arrangements Subcommittee was created to allow the other Subcommittees to concentrate on their primary fields of interest.
