Description: Every year the Mediterranean attracts more than 100 million visitors, but relatively few of them stop to think of the environmental problems facing the area. The millions of tonnes of crude oil, chemicals and untreated sewage being discharged into the sea, form a toxic cocktail that is threatening the entire marine ecosystem. Drawing on the expertise of a multi-national team of writers and researchers, this book examines the geography and unique natural history of the Mediterranean, the threat to its immense natural resources, and the politics that shape the area's future. There are special features, accompanied by landscape and wildlife photography, on each of the 18 Mediterranean states, and the book ends with a look at what has already been achieved in environmental protection and at Greenpeace's own involvement.

Description: Destined to become the standard work in this field, Marine Mesocosms establishes an enclosure approach in biological and chemical oceanography that lies between experimental laboratory and descriptive oceanographic sampling. The enclosure approach retains much of the natural complexity of food chain interactions in the environment and much of the control, replication, and ability to revisit the same population inherent in laboratory systems.

Description: The self-regulation of fish populations and why some fish stocks flourish and then die away are questions that have fascinated fisheries scientists for decades. In this account, David Cushing shows how the fate of fish larvae, which live close to the centers of production in the sea, has a crucial effect on population regulation. He shows how the timing and development of tidal fronts in particular regions have profound implications for fish and plankton production, which in turn affects whether or not enough of the fish larvae live to adulthood. One of the most interesting points made by the author is how vulnerable fish populations are to climate change, and it is only by understanding these processes that we can hope to recognize the implications of global climate change on marine populations. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in marine ecology and fisheries biology.

Description: In this volume marine experts from countries of East Africa and southern Asia describe the conditions of marine resources of the large marine ecosystems of the Indian Ocean. Countries of the region represent over a quarter of the world's population, most of whom are existing at or below the poverty level. The potentials for economic growth through the development of coastal tourism, mariculture, fisheries, mineral extraction, and oil and gas production are examined by the authors in relation to the need for ensuring the long-term sustainability of marine resources. Case studies of resource assessments presented by several authors illustrate the magnitude of risk from continuing degradation of resources under the prevailing unmanaged conditions extending over much of coastal areas of East Africa and southern Asia. The authors explore the application of multidisciplinary ecosystem-based assessment and management strategies to the future economic development of the large marine ecosystems of the region. With the initiation of science-based management practcies, the ecosystems of the area can provide an important source of economic growth, improved food security, and nutritional benefits to the populations of stakeholders in coastal areas bordering the Indian Ocean
