efforts of Ann Dixon and SHin Pearce in the preparation of this
volume. vii INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1. ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS AND
COASTAL ZONE ECOSYSTEMS' VALUES: AN OVERVIEW. Turner, R. K. ,
Bateman, I. J. and Adger, W. N. 1. 1 Coastal zone pressure and
sustainable management challenges Given the continued
intensification of the process of globalisation - involving
population growth, population density changes via urbanisation,
industrial development, increased trade and capital flows,
liberalisation of transnational corporation activity and lifestyle
and attitudinal changes - coastal zones and their hydrologically
linked catchment areas have come under heavy environmental
pressure. The scale and extent of socio-economic activities have
profound implications for the now coevolving natural and human
systems and their complex interrelationships (Turner, Perrings and
Folke, 1997). The consequences of this process of change manifest
themselves across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Indeed
the juxtaposition of different spatial, functional and temporal
scales that is inherent in the catchment-coastal
ecosystems-seas/oceans continuum poses particularly difficult
challenges for both science and resource management/governance.
