Coastal ecosystems are centres of high biological productivity, but
their conservation is often threatened by numerous and complex
environmental factors. Citing examples from the major littoral
habitats worldwide, such as sandy beaches, salt marshes and
mangrove swamps, this text characterises the biodiversity of
coastline environments and highlights important aspects of their
maintenance and preservation, aided by the analysis of key
representative species. Leaders in the field provide reviews of the
foremost threats to coastal networks, including the effects of
climate change, invasive species and major pollution incidents such
as oil spills. Further discussion underscores the intricacies of
measuring and managing coastline species in the field, taking into
account the difficulties in quantifying biodiversity loss due to
indirect cascading effects and trophic skew. Synthesising the
current state of species richness with present and projected
environmental pressures, the book ultimately establishes a research
agenda for implementing and improving conservation practices moving
forward.
