Conventional management approaches cannot meet the challenges faced by ocean and coastal ecosystems today. Consequently, national and international bodies have called for a shift toward more comprehensive ecosystem-based marine management. Synthesising a vast amount of current knowledge, Ecosystem-Based Management for the Oceans is a comprehensive guide to utilising this promising new approach.

Reviews

For proponents of ecosystem-based management, the good news is that another new book, Ecosystem-based Management for the Oceans , conveys the topic at its state-of-the-art level of development...both Marine Ecosystems and Global Change and Ecosystem-based Management for the Oceans are valuable troves that could profitably be mined, and any academic bookshelf would wear them well.--Carl Safina BioScience

&#8220;This excellent book demystifies the idea of ecosystem-based management and explains the many ways in which the ideas can be applied in the real world. At once a primer, theoretical synthesis, practical guide, and roadmap for the future, this book will is a must-read for all those interested in the subject.&#8221;<br>--Callum Roberts &quot;professor of marine conservation, University of York &quot;
