Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) is one of the most holistic
approaches to protecting marine and coastal ecosystems as it
recognizes the need to protect entire marine ecosystems instead of
individual species. After decades of pollution, habitat degradation
and overfishing, now climate change and ocean acidification
threaten the health of the ocean in unprecedented way.
Environmental Management of Marine Ecosystems illustrates the
current status, trends, and effects of climate, natural
disturbances and anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems. It
demonstrates how to integrate different management tools and models
in an up-to-date, multidisciplinary approach to environmental
management. This indispensable guide provides several case studies
from around the world and creates a framework for identifying
management tools and their applications in coral reefs, fisheries,
migratory species, marine islands and associated ecosystems such as
mangroves and sea grass beds. It discusses the physical and
chemical compositions of marine ecosystems along with the threats
and actions needed to protect them. The application of model
framework to several contemporary management issues include the
modelling of harmful algal bloom dynamics, understanding the
dispersal of sea lice, and the possible impacts on intertidal
communities of the provision of novel offshore habitat. The results
of extensive research by an international team of contributors, the
Environmental Management of Marine Ecosystems is designed to inform
scientists, practitioners, academics, government and non-government
policymakers on the particularities of marine ecosystems and assist
them in understanding the EBM approaches in means of mitigation and
adaptation of human activities that result in sustainability. These
practices will help change the current methodologies used for
resource assessment and the future regulations of marine resources.
