Request a sales quotePredicting Future Oceans: Sustainability of Ocean and Human Systems Amidst Global Environmental Change provides a synthesis of our knowledge of the future state of the oceans. The editors undertake the challenge of integrating diverse perspectives—from oceanography to anthropology—to exhibit the changes in ecological conditions and their socioeconomic implications. Each contributing author provides a novel perspective, with the book as a whole collating scholarly understandings of future oceans and coastal communities across the world. The diverse perspectives, syntheses and state-of-the-art natural and social sciences contributions are led by past and current research fellows and principal investigators of the Nereus Program network.
This includes members at 17 leading research institutes, addressing themes such as oceanography, biodiversity, fisheries, mariculture production, economics, pollution, public health and marine policy.
This book is a comprehensive resource for senior undergraduate and postgraduate readers studying social and natural science, as well as practitioners working in the field of natural resources management and marine conservation.
- Provides a synthesis of our knowledge on the future state of the oceans
- Includes recommendations on how to move forwards
- Highlights key social aspects linked to ocean ecosystems, including health, equity and sovereignty
Scientists interested in marine ecology and governance, resource management, climate change and ocean-related fields. Secondary: Government practitioners in marine and coastal management, policy makers of local and regional government, and program officers of non-governmental and intergovernmental organisations engaged with marine conservation
