This book is the first of its kind on the emerging topic of
source-to-sea management. It showcases different applications of
the concept to improve the environmental health of freshwater, land
and coastal and marine systems, drawing upon research performed
across Europe, Africa and Asia. Improved management of land,
freshwater, coasts and oceans is a key environmental challenge of
our time. It is needed to prevent the millions of tons of plastic
and other pollutants that enter the ocean from land-based sources
each year. It is essential to reduce highly polluted,
oxygen-depleted "dead zones" in our coastal and marine waters.
Extensive diversions of the flows of rivers need to be avoided to
ensure that little or no water reaches the sea. Source-to-sea (S2S)
is an emerging concept to improve understanding of how to
effectively manage freshwater, land, coastal and marine systems.
The collected works in this book explore experiences with S2S
management in diverse regions across Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australia, addressing sedimentation, nutrient and pharmaceutical
pollution in freshwater and marine aquatic environments, and marine
debris on the coasts and in the seas. It provides key insights into
a few areas that should be of interest to those who want to learn
from the lessons from case studies of applied S2S interventions.
This book will be of great value to scholars, students and
researchers interested in global freshwater, coastal zone, ocean
management, sustainable development and environmental governance.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of the journal Water International.
