This textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate students in biology, ecology, oceanography, and resource management is divided into sections on estuarine ecosystems, coastal systems, and shelf ecosystems. At the end of each chapter, "implications for management" sections apply the scientific principles covered to management and decision-making processes. The second edition adds eight chapters. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Ecology of Coastal Waters with Implications for Management, Second Edition is the most up-to-date book available on coastal marine ecosystems. Students will easily relate to the content of the book as subjects are divided by the environment and scientific principles are applied to steps in the management and the decision making process.

This is the ideal text for undergraduate and graduate life science students as well as for practicing professionals.

Arvustused

Praise from Reviewers:

"Ecology of Coastal Waters: With Implications for Management, Second Edition is a thorough synthesis that describes the processing of materials in nearshore ecosystems, with an emphasis on the importance of this information for policy issues. The book will be useful as a text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students interest in coastal marine ecology and resource management. Ken Mann's style is easy to read and informative. Merryl Alber, PhD, Department of Marine Sciences, University of Georgia

"I found few books that give a broad introduction to this subject. Mann's book appears to fill this gap, and I will very likely adopt it as a text when it is published." Chris Tanner, PhD, Department of Biology, St. Mary's College of Maryland
