Bringing together 30 international experts, this volume
commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Intergovernmental
Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, the UN organization responsible
for fostering intergovernmental cooperation on global ocean issues.
It looks at how governments use science to establish ocean
policies, with chapters ranging from the history of ocean
management to current advances in marine science, observation and
management applications, and the international agencies that
co-ordinate this work. With a focus on key topical issues such as
marine pollution, exploitation, and hazards, Troubled Waters
reflects on past successes and failures in ocean management and
emphasises the need for knowledge and effective government action
to ensure a sustainable future for this precious resource.
Illustrated with dramatic, full-colour images, it is essential
reading for researchers, students, policy makers and managers of
the marine environment, and also provides an attractive and
accessible overview for anyone concerned about the future
stewardship of our oceans.
