Coastal and marine ecosystems, some severely degraded, other still
pristine, control rich resources of inshore environments and
coastal seas of Latin America's Pacific and Atlantic margins.
Conflicts between the needs of the region's nations and diminishing
revenues and environmental quality have induced awareness of
coastal ecological problems and motivated financial support for
restoration and management.
These books are divided into two volumes. The first focuses on estuarine physics and physical processes and interpretations. I have, for the most parts, intentionally downplayed engineering applications to estuaries. It is my bias that a deeper understanding is accomplished with a physical approach, whereas an engineering approach is largely geared toward finding a solution to a problem. Of course, it is not always easy to make this distinction. The second volume is a presentation of physical case studies of several important estuaries, spanning the major geomorphic types. I believe that it can be very useful to all areas of the world. I have consciously strived to be more international to scope in selection of both authors and estuarine case studies.
