Marine Conservation

Beschreibung

Providing a guide for marine conservation practice, MarineConservation takes a whole-systems approach, covering majoradvances in marine ecosystem understanding. Its premise is thatconservation must be informed by the natural histories of organismstogether with the hierarchy of scale-related linkages and ecosystemprocesses. The authors introduce a broad range of overlappingissues and the conservation mechanisms that have been devised toachieve marine conservation goals. The book provides students andconservation practitioners with a framework for thoughtful,critical thinking in order to incite innovation in the 21stcentury. "Marine Conservation presents a scholarly but eminentlyreadable case for the necessity of a systems approach to conservingthe oceans, combining superb introductions to the science, law andpolicy frameworks with carefully chosen case studies. This superbvolume is a must for anyone interested in marine conservation, fromstudents and practitioners to lay readers and policy-makers." --Simon Levin, George M.

"Marine Conservationis a valuable contribution to the conservation literature. The authors successfully argue that a holistic conceptual understanding of social, legal, and political issues, as well as science, is necessary for successful management of marine and coastal resources. During a period in history when issues such as climate change, overfishing, and marine pollution are becoming substantial public concerns, this volume provides a very accessible summary of the current state of marine conservation issues." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 October 2015) "This is critical reading for anyone interested in the marine environment. Summing Up: Essential. All library collections." (Choice, 1 October 2014) "This thorough, accessible, scholarly and lavishly illustrated text book with diverse contributions from many experienced scientists and practitioners will provide a solid underpinning for future careers in conservation as well as informing the public, holding in turn the possibility of future success in living sustainably with the marine environment." (The News Journal of the International Society for Reef Studies, 1 August 2014) "This is critical reading for anyone interested in the marine environment. Summing up: Essential. All library collections."--CHOICE, G. C. Jensen, University of Washington
