In the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Los Angeles, urban development decreased the poor's access to water and marine resources. Modernization in these cities either reduced services to the poor and to ethnic minorities, be they Native Americans,Asian Americans, or Hispanic Americans, or diminished these groups' ability to supplement their incomes by fishing or foraging. Industrial development, shipping channels, and sewers all contributed to a larger pattern of environmental racism and environmental inequity in the United States. This forum contributes to the study of environmental justice by exploring how marginalized peoples adapted to urban growth and the reallocation of resources in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
