AB - World Seas: An Environmental Evaluation, Second Edition, Volume Three: Ecological Issues and Environmental Impacts covers global issues relating to our seas, including a biological description of the coast and continental shelf waters, the development and use of the coast, landfills and their effects, pollutant discharges over time, the effects of over-fishing, and the management methods and techniques used to ensure continued ecosystem functioning. The relative importance of water-borne and airborne routes differ in different parts of the world is explored, along with extensive coverage of major habitats and species groups, governmental, education and legal issues, fisheries effects, remote sensing, climate change and management.This book is an invaluable, worldwide reference source for students and researchers concerned with marine environmental science, fisheries, oceanography and engineering and coastal zone development.Chapter 1 - The Mangrove EcosystemChapter 2 - Global Status of Coral Reefs: In Combination, Disturbances and Stressors Become RatchetsChapter 3 - Status and Trends for the World’s Kelp ForestsChapter 4 - Salt Marshes: Their Role in Our Society and Threats Posed to Their ExistenceChapter 5 - Remote Sensing for Marine ManagementChapter 6 - New Advances in Benthic Monitoring Technology and MethodologyChapter 7 - SeabirdsChapter 8 - Blooms of the Moon Jellyfish Aurelia: Causes, Consequences and ControlsChapter 9 - European Protection of Fisheries in the North East AtlanticChapter 10 - Ghost FishingChapter 11 - Far-Field and Near-Field Effects of Marine AquacultureChapter 12 - The Making of a Global Marine Fisheries Catch Database for Policy DevelopmentChapter 13 - Ballast Water: Problems and ManagementChapter 14 - Debris in Deep WaterChapter 15 - Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the Global OceanChapter 16 - Microbial Remediation of Organic PollutantsChapter 17 - Macroplastics Pollution in the Marine EnvironmentChapter 18 - Microplastics Pollution in the Marine EnvironmentChapter 19 - International Instruments for the Prevention of Marine Alien Invasive SpeciesChapter 20 - Underwater Noise: Sources and Effects on Marine LifeChapter 21 - Marine Oil Spills—Oil Pollution, Sources and EffectsChapter 22 - Marine Oil Spills—Preparedness and CountermeasuresChapter 23 - Threats to Seamount Ecosystems and Their ManagementChapter 24 - Dead Zones: Oxygen Depletion in Coastal EcosystemsChapter 25 - Marine Protected Areas: Attempting the Sustainability of the SeasChapter 26 - Shoreline DefensesChapter 27 - Environmental Effects of Marine TransportationChapter 28 - Collisions of Vessels With Cetaceans—The Underestimated ThreatChapter 29 - Marine Protected AreasChapter 30 - Marine Spatial PlanningChapter 31 - The Role of Ports in a Global Economy, Issues of Relevance and Environmental InitiativesChapter 32 - Molecular Approaches for an Operational Marine Biodiversity Observation Network
