Coastal Zone Management Handbook comprises the first complete
manual on coastal resource planning and management technology.
Written by an international consultant, this handbook reflects a
global perspective on the natural resources, sensitivities,
economics, development, productivity, and diversity of coastal
zones. The emphasis is on tropical and subtropical coastal
ecosystems, but the information is widely applicable. In addition
to its comprehensive coverage of general concepts related to
coastal regions, the book describes the strategic basis for coastal
management, provides a set of working tools for management and
planning activities, and presents case histories of management
projects around the globe. Extensive references are provided for
each management analysis, practice, technique, and solution.

This volume brings together multiple perspectives on both the
changing Arctic environment and the challenges and opportunities it
presents for the shipping sector. It argues for the adoption of a
forward-looking agenda that respects the fragile and changing
Arctic frontier. With the accelerated interest in and potential for
new maritime trade routes, commercial transportation and natural
resource development, the pressures on the changing Arctic marine
environment will only increase. The International Maritime
Organization Polar Code is an important step toward Arctic
stewardship. This new volume serves as an important guide to this
rapidly developing agenda. Addressing a range of aspects, it offers
a valuable resource for academics, practitioners, environmentalists
and affected authorities in the shipping industry alike.
