Marine and freshwater systems are being placed under pressure like
never before. A bigger and more demanding human population has
meant increased utilisation of aquatic systems and, as such, the
need for sustainable solutions to allow the development and
conservation of these systems has become an international priority.
In order to understand the limits of exploitation, an understanding
is needed of the ecological principles that constrain levels of
productivity and the systems' responses to exploitation pressure.
This timely book explores current exploitation practices, and the
ecological basis and consequences of that exploitation. From a
consideration of the ecological effects of the extraction of
non-living resources, including energy and water itself, it
progresses to the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms, and how
these underpin the harvesting for aquatic resources. A discussion
of the ecological consequences for the system of its use as a means
of transport and as a repository for wastes follows, along with the
increasing importance of aquatic systems for human recreational
pursuits. Finally, effective management strategies for natural
hazards, the provision of ecological goods and services, and
restoration of aquatic systems are considered, as well as the
importance of ecological science in exploitation management. The
role of science in providing an understanding of the effects of
human intervention in aquatic systems is emphasised throughout,
along with a consideration of the role of ecology in the
sustainable management of the consequences of human activity.
