Global Change in Marine Systems analyses and appraises societal and
governing responses to change affecting marine social and
ecological systems around the world. Acknowledging the stakes -
local societies that depend on marine systems for food, livelihoods
and wellbeing can suffer great hardship - this book highlights and
explains similarities and distinctions between successful and
unsuccessful responses. The book presents an analytical framework
('I-ADApT') that enables decision-makers to consider possible
responses to global change based on experiences elsewhere. Here an
international group of researchers from the natural and social
sciences apply the 'I-ADApT' framework to twenty enlightening case
studies, covering a wide range of marine systems challenged by
critical global change issues around the world. The innovative
research presented here guides marine system researchers,
policymakers, decision-makers and practitioners in responding to
global change in a timely and appropriate manner. It will appeal to
students and researchers interested in environmental studies,
natural resources, marine resources, environmental sociology,
sustainability, and climate change.
Marine social and ecological systems around the world face multiple
natural and anthropogenic stressors associated with global change.
The resulting changes can create hardship for local societies that
depend on them for food, livelihoods and wellbeing. Knowing how to
respond to global change in a timely and appropriate manner is
increasingly occupying the attention of researchers, policy makers,
decision makers and practitioners around the world. Written by an
international group of researchers from the natural and social
sciences, Societal and governing responses to Global Change in
Marine Systems analyses and appraises societal and governing
responses to change, highlighting and explaining similarities and
distinctions between successful, and less successful, responses.
The authors present "I-ADApT", an analytical framework that enables
decision makers to consider possible responses to global change,
based on experiences elsewhere. Within this volume, I-ADApT is
applied to 20 enlightening case studies covering a wide range of
marine systems that have been challenged by critical global change
issues around the world. Introducing innovative research to work
towards a range of possible responses to global change, Societal
and governing responses to Global Change in Marine Systems will
appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as
postdoctoral researchers and practitioners interested in fields
such as: Environment & Natural Resources, Marine Resources and
social sciences.
