520 $aProvides broad coverage of the ecological foundations of marine conservation, including the rationale, importance and practicalities of various approaches to marine conservation and management. The scope of the 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.
