Marine extremes, as they are conceived of in this volume, encompass
environments, activities, events and impacts. Extreme environments
found in and around our oceans, including the deep sea and seabed
as well as the frozen polar regions, are being seriously affected
by both extreme behaviours (dumping and discharge of waste, illegal
fishing and piracy) and extreme events (storms, tsunamis, extreme
waves and marine heatwaves). The aim of this book is to highlight
the multi-disciplinary knowledge and inputs needed to address
marine extremes and thereafter to explore opportunities and current
challenges. Safe and healthy oceans are important for economic,
recreational and cultural activities, in addition to the
maintenance of ecosystem services upon which we rely. This volume
gathers a unique mix of researchers working on scientific aspects
of biological ecosystems and physical processes together with
social scientists exploring law and governance options, community
preferences, cultural values, economic aspects and criminological
drivers and approaches. The multi-disciplinary feature of this book
breaks down barriers that arise between disparate fields of
research so that integrated solutions to ocean challenges can be
found. Overall, this book argues that if we are to achieve
sustainable utilisation of our oceans and blue economy goals we
must better understand, and respond to, the extreme environments,
activities, events and impacts. The book is a valuable addition to
the literature and will be of interest to researchers in marine
science, ocean governance and natural resource economics, as well
as to professionals and government officials concerned with marine
policy and planning.
