Marine Conservation [PDF ebook] 
Science, Policy, and Management

Support

Providing a guide for marine conservation practice, Marine
Conservation takes a whole-systems approach, covering major
advances in marine ecosystem understanding. Its premise is that
conservation must be informed by the natural histories of organisms
together with the hierarchy of scale-related linkages and ecosystem
processes. The authors introduce a broad range of overlapping
issues and the conservation mechanisms that have been devised to
achieve marine conservation goals. The book provides students and
conservation practitioners with a framework for thoughtful,
critical thinking in order to incite innovation in the 21st
century.
‚Marine Conservation presents a scholarly but eminently
readable case for the necessity of a systems approach to conserving
the oceans, combining superb introductions to the science, law and
policy frameworks with carefully chosen case studies. This superb
volume is a must for anyone interested in marine conservation, from
students and practitioners to lay readers and policy-makers.‘
