Providing a guide for marine conservation practice, MarineConservation takes a whole-systems approach, covering majoradvances in marine ecosystem understanding. Its premise is thatconservation must be informed by the natural histories of organismstogether with the hierarchy of scale-related linkages and ecosystemprocesses. The authors introduce a broad range of overlappingissues and the conservation mechanisms that have been devised toachieve marine conservation goals. The book provides students andconservation practitioners with a framework for thoughtful,critical thinking in order to incite innovation in the 21stcentury.
"Marine Conservation presents a scholarly but eminentlyreadable case for the necessity of a systems approach to conservingthe oceans, combining superb introductions to the science, law andpolicy frameworks with carefully chosen case studies. This superbvolume is a must for anyone interested in marine conservation, fromstudents and practitioners to lay readers and policy-makers."
