We, and the rest of life with whom we share this planet, will have to survive in the future with an ocean that is hotter, higher, and more acidic than at any time in the recent evolutionary past. The ideas presented in this book will buy us time. They highlight the possible. They empower us with simple, cost effective, and sustainable solutions for universal problems. The ideas in this book encourage us to reach into the only tool kit we have for broad-scale, long-lasting solutions. They exhort us to harness the restorative power of nature. -From the Foreword, James W. Porter, Ph.D., Josiah Meigs Professor of Ecology and Marine Sciences, University of Georgia

This excellent work deals with ways mild electrical stimulation can enhance settlement and growth and reduce the mortality of such marine organisms as corals, oysters, and sponges as well as sea grasses and salt marshes in temperate and tropical ecosystems. Each chapter is formatted like a brief scientific manuscript, with an introduction and materials/methods, results, discussion, references, and acknowledgments sections. ... In addition to the content the volume's 19 chapters provide, a companion CD contains all the photographs and graphs from the book along with presentations from two international ecosystem restoration conferences. Summing Up: Recommended. Senior-level undergraduates, graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals interested in ecosystem restoration. -A.
