Opis

In this new and highly original textbook for a range of interdisciplinary courses and degree programmes focusing on marine and coastal resource management, readers are offered an introduction to the subject matter, a broad perspective and understanding, some case study applications, and a reference source. Each chapter is written by an international authority and expert in the respective field, bringing together perspectives from physical and human geography, marine biology and fisheries, planning and surveying, law, technology, environmental change, engineering and tourism. In addition to an overview of the theory and practice of its subject area, many chapters include detailed 'boxed' case-studies to illustrate the applications, including relationships to decision-making requirements at local, regional, and national levels. Each chapter also includes a list of references for further reading, with a selection of key journal papers and URLs.
