Providing a comprehensive account of marine conservation, this book
examines human use and abuse of the world's seas and oceans and
their marine life, and the various approaches to management and
conservation. Healthy marine ecosystems - the goods and services
that they provide - are of vital importance to human wellbeing.
There is a pressing need for a global synthesis of marine
conservation issues and approaches. This book covers conservation
issues pertinent to major groups of marine organisms, such as
sharks, marine turtles, seabirds and marine mammals; key habitats,
from estuaries, wetlands and coral reefs to the deep sea; and from
local and regional to international initiatives in marine
conservation. An ideal resource for students, researchers and
conservation professionals, the book pays appropriate attention to
the underlying marine biology and oceanography and how human
activities impact marine ecosystems, enabling the reader to fully
understand the context of conservation action and its rationale.
