Marine and Coastal Resource Management cover

In this new and highly original textbook for a range of interdisciplinary courses and degree programmes focusing on marine and coastal resource management, readers are offered an introduction to the subject matter, a broad perspective and understanding, case study applications, and a reference source. Each chapter is written by an international authority and expert in the respective field, providing perspectives from physical and human geography, marine biology and fisheries, planning and surveying, law, technology, environmental change, engineering, and tourism.

In addition to an overview of the theory and practice of its subject area, many chapters include detailed case studies to illustrate the applications, including relationships to decision-making requirements at local, regional, and national levels. Each chapter also includes a list of references for further reading, with a selection of key journal papers and URLs. Overall, this volume provides a key textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and for the coastal or marine practitioner, as well as a long-term reference for students.

"Since publication this book has been an invaluable source of reference and inspiration for my students - notably my postgraduate classes have used the book for a wide variety of assignments and seminar presentations as it provides an accessible and comprehensive overview of the subject base. It provides in-depth conceptual and academic content coupled with real world case studies that have really helped develop and broaden student knowledge and engagement. A must have book for students and academic staff alike." - Jonathan Potts, Principal Lecturer and Course Director for MSc Coastal and Marine Resource Management, University of Portsmouth, UK
