Regarded as "remote" and "useless," the seashore has not only had to shoulder the burden of industrial production; it has also been forced to accept nuclear power plants, which most people avoid like the plague, as well as garbage dumps and sewage. The coast has also been the site of transportation infrastructure projects, such as airports, harbors, highways and so forth.
被認為「偏遠」、「無用」的海岸，不只要擔負起工業生產的重任，還要承載民眾避之唯恐不及的核能電廠、廢水垃圾等污染，以及交通設施如機場、港灣、快速公路等負擔。
