The coastal tropics comprise some of the most sensitive and yet the
most understudied ecosystems in the world. Coastal plains and river
valleys are also home to agriculture on a vast scale, and it is not
surprising to find that streams and rivers receive the majority of
agricultural runoff, carrying the residues of insecticides,
fungicides and other pesticides into estuaries and coastal zones.
There is a growing awareness of the urgent need to develop
strategies to help productive, healthy and economically viable
agriculture to coexist with natural resources. Pesticide Residues
in Tropical Coastal Ecosystems brings together toxicology experts
from around the world to assess pesticide burdens in many of the
major food-producing tropical countries. It provides a unique set
of case studies, chronicling pesticide usage and its
ecotoxicological impact in coastal regions. A practical guide to
recent research findings and applications, it is essential reading
for environmental professionals, ecotoxicologists, marine chemists
and agrochemists.
