Coastal and Marine Pollution

Source to Sink, Mitigation and Management

A multi-faceted analysis of how to preserve the long-term health of the world’s largest ecosystem

In Coastal and Marine Pollution: Source to Sink, Mitigation and Management, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive overview of the factors and stakeholders impacting — and impacted by — coastal and marine pollution. The book offers broad and up-to-date coverage of the topic, serving as a valuable reference for professionals and researchers working in the field.

The authors integrate and compare the two main sources of marine and coastal pollution: chronic, long-term, low-level pollution as well as occasional, accidental, disaster-related pollution. They bridge the gap between theory and real-world action, offering best practices for monitoring and preventing pollution, as well as efficient governance and disaster management strategies.

Readers will find:

• A thorough overview of the global state of coastal and marine pollution
• Comprehensive explorations of different types of pollution, including their sources, distribution, and impacts on the biophysical environment
• Practical discussions of pollution monitoring methods, including ecotoxicological approaches and proven strategies for managing coastal and marine pollution
• A critical assessment of policy and governance issues, including public awareness and disaster response strategies

Perfect for researchers and professionals in the fields of marine biology, ecology, and environmental protection, Coastal and Marine Pollution will also benefit professionals working in the shipping, fishing, deep-sea mining and drilling industries, as well as those affiliated with governmental and non-governmental organizations.
