The Alboran Sea represents a regional Mediterranean space where
North and South worlds merges, creating a geopolitical region where
marine resources and maritime activities should be managed from a
national and international perspectives. It is widely known, that
currently the planet is suffering a global change, and it is also
affecting the Alboran Sea, its ecosystems and populations. An
important first step to update a paramount vision on this region is
to understand the climatic, geologic and oceanographic, including
biochemical cycles, process which shapes the rich geodiversity,
biodiversity, the productivity, and the sustainable use of the
marine resources from Alboran Sea. The fisheries management system
should take into account marine environmental variability to
achieve biological sustainability of marine resources. Well-funded
policy-makers' decisions require a sound science based knowledge of
the interaction between the marine environment and commercial
stocks. This is because the role of marine environment in the
evolution of fish stocks is sometimes even more important than the
one played by fishers in the commercial exploitation of them.
Finally, we should analyze the different aspects of political
context that could affect the management of the resources from
Alboran Sea in the context of climate change. This book reviews
different aspects of the Alboran Sea to help understand the current
situation from the original Tethis Ocean. The book is divided into
four blocks: (i) Oceanographic, geological and ecological context
(chapters 2 to 7), (ii) biodiversity and ecosystems distribution
(chapters 8 to 12), (iii) fisheries resources and aquaculture
(chapters 13 to 20), and (iv) conservation, management and marine
polices (chapters 21 to 25).
