More Coastal Natural Resources Are in Poor Condition Than Good Condition

"Twenty-one percent of assessed [coastal, natural] resources are unimpaired (good condition), whereas 35% are impaired (poor condition) and 44% are threatened (fair condition) for aquatic life use or human use." - excerpt from the Executive Summary of the Environmental Protection Agency's "Draft National Coastal Conditions Report II" found at http://www.epa.gov/owow/oceans/nccr2/downloads.html
