The idea that all politics are left at the water's edge when facing substantial external threats seems naive in today's polarized political atmosphere. Even the water's edge itself is becoming a slippery boundary to grasp as global warming raises sea levels and the effects of those rising levels are being felt around the world. We have long gone to the coasts to find rest, relaxation, and even ourselves. Coastal ecosystems provide 77% of global ecosystem-services value. About 40% of our human population lives within coastal limits; a great deal of them in twenty-one, of the earth's thirty-three, mega-cities which are found on the coast.
