Marine, coastal and wetland habitats are threatened, not only
through exploitation, but also by the prospect of climate change as
ocean currents change course, sea levels rise, and rainfall
patterns change. Even the once-common cod is now under threat from
the combined effects of over-fishing and a dramatic change-induced
decrease in the plankton that cod larvae feed on. Meanwhile, coral
reefs remain especially vulnerable to rapid sea-level changes
exacerbated by the effects of tourism and disease.
This book gathers together a wide range of papers reporting on
key research into the biodiversity conservation of these critical
and increasingly threatened habitats. Collectively these papers
provide a snap-shot of the types of problems they are experiencing,
and offer a wealth of topical examples which render this volume
especially valuable to teachers of courses in marine, freshwater
and wetlands ecology, biological conservation and ecological
restoration."
