This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to the sustainable management of coral reefs.

This is the first book to provide much needed guidance and case studies concerning citizen science from marine and coastal conservation

The key aim of this book is to explore current knowledge and status of the law and science in relation to sharks with a particular focus on improving frameworks for their conservation and management globally.

Through detailed cases and analysis of broader global trends, this volume examines how coastal communities are adapting to environmental change and the attributes of governance that are required to build resilience and well-being.

This book analyses a series of marine transboundary conservation initiatives embedded in varying contextual situations to examine the underlying reasons for their success or failure.

This text provides an accessible entry point for students and professionals to management science as developed in fisheries, in order to facilitate uptake of the latest ideas and methods.

This book focuses on the framework of international law behind Marine Spatial Planning. It sets out a general framework for transboundary MSP and then moves on to compare and assess differences and similarities between different regions.

The marine environment is one of our most precious yet fragile natural resources. This environment is however extremely complex and very sensitive to development pressures. This book describes how growing concern about the state of our seas is resulting in the development of new approaches to marine planning and management.

Provides a broad coverage of the ecological foundations of marine conservation. This book encompasses an understanding of the elements of marine biodiversity - from global to local levels - threats to marine biodiversity, and the structure and function of marine environments as related to conservation issues.

Our knowledge of the oceans is increasing rapidly, as more powerful tools for exploration and exploitation make it easier to locate valuable resources, such as fish stocks, oil and gas reserves, or sites for wind and hydropower schemes. This book provides guidance on using ocean zoning to improve marine management.

Offshore energy generation is a rapidly growing sector, competing for space in an already busy seascape. This book brings together the ecological, economic and social implications of the spatial conflict this growth entails.

This book reviews the frameworks and implementation of marine, fishery and coastal laws and policies in Chile, Mexico and Peru.

Drawing upon principles from the natural and social sciences this book provides as interdisciplinary overview of Marine Extremes, assessing the impacts of them on communities and infrastructure as well as for marine ecosystems.

Includes sections that show how to design and manage MPAs in an ever noisier ocean subject to climate change, increased shipping and hydrocarbon exploration. This book provides a route map for MPA managers, as well as countries, to meet the ambitious targets for highly protected MPA networks by 2012 and 2020.
