Marine Biodiversity Conservation: A Practical Approach
By Keith Hiscock
Effective marine biodiversity conservation is dependent upon a clear scientific rationale for practical interventions. This book is intended to provide knowledge and tools for marine conservation practitioners and to identify issues and mechanisms for upper-level undergraduate and Masters students. The main focus is on benthic species living on or in the seabed and immediately above. Such species are fundamental to a stable and sustainable marine ecosystem. The book is a practical guide based on a clear exposition of the principles of marine ecology and species biology to demonstrate how marine conservation has been tackled worldwide.
