This book examines a wide range of innovative approaches for
coastal wetlands restoration and explains how we should use both
academic research and practitioners' findings to influence
learning, practice, policy and social change. For conservationists,
tidal flats and coastal wetlands are regarded as among the most
important areas to conserve for the health of the entire oceanic
environment. As the number of restoration projects all over the
world increases, this book provides a unique assessment of coastal
wetland restorations by examining existing community perceptions
and by drawing on the knowledge and expertise of both academics and
practitioners. Based on a four-year sociological study across three
different cultural settings - England, Japan and Malaysia - the
book investigates how citizens perceive the existing environment;
how they discuss the risks and benefits of restoration projects;
how perceptions change over time; and how governmental and
non-governmental organisations work with the various community
perceptions on the ground. By comparing and contrasting the results
from these three countries, the book offers guidance for future
conservation and restoration activities, with a specific view to
working with local citizens to avoid conflict and obtain long-term
investment. This book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of coastal restoration, wetland conservation and citizen
science, as well as environmental sociology and environmental
management more broadly. It will also be of use to practitioners
and policymakers involved in environmental restoration projects.
