The vast majority of the world's population lives on or near the
coast. These communities are an extraordinary and largely untapped
resource that can be used to mitigate planetary disaster and foster
environmental stewardship. Repeated waves of scientific fact and
information are not inciting action, nor apparently producing
enough momentum to change voting behaviour towards a progressive
environmental politics. A critical coastal policy, underpinned by a
deeper understanding of environmental communication, can offer
something new to this status quo. Environmental Communication and
Critical Coastal Policy argues that more science and 'better'
communication has been largely responsible for the lacklustre
response by citizens to environmental challenges. Foxwell-Norton
asserts that the inclusion of a range of local meanings and
cultural frameworks with which experts could engage would better
incite participation in, and awareness of, local environmental
issues. The value and possible role of 'geo-community media'
(mainstream, alternative and social media) is examined here to
illustrate and support the key argument that meaningful local
engagement is a powerful tool in coastal management processes. This
is a valuable resource for postgraduates, researchers and academics
across environmental science and management, policy studies,
communication studies and cultural studies.
