Social activities in the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea and Curonian lagoon engender more sharp conflicts than in other regions of Lithuania. That is why the more specific nonstandard regional development and management problems appear here, and in order to solve them, the specialists with good knowledge of geographical and social peculiarities and solutions are demanded.
