Our Fragile Shoreline Editorial Warns of Ocean Pollution
A 1970s pollution alert notes Rachel Carson warnings and the rise of sludge dumping near Cape May and Rehoboth Beach.

It contrasts Italian Mediterranean pollution with potential American coast dangers and urges immediate action to protect shorelines and fisheries.
