Coastal Management Revisited: Navigating Towards Sustainable Human-Nature Relations presents an account of twenty plus years of research on coasts, oceans and small islands, linking social and ecological systems, in close collaboration with natural scientists, managers, policy makers and the local populations involved. Integrated and sustainable coastal management is multi-facetted, greatly issue-dependent and has, during its history, followed different trends and paths. The authors address challenges to society - to coastal management in particular - that have been generated by human activity in both temperate and tropical environments. Ultimately, the book describes the maturation of a field.
Zielgruppe
<p>graduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers in the fields of geography, anthropology, human ecology, social ecology, anthroecology, coastal and ocean management, disaster management and planning, environmental and development studies</p>
