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.
The volume provides a competent review on the structure, processes
and function of 22 important Latin American coastal marine
ecosystems. Each contribution describes the environmental settings,
biotic components and structure of the system, considers trophic
processes and energy flow, evaluates the modifying influence of
natural and human perturbations, and suggests management needs.
Although the focus of the book is on basic ecological research, the
results have application for coastal managers.
