- Description
- With the considerable pressures that are being placed on our marine resources, there is an urgent need to find alternative strategies to ensure their long-term sustainability. One measure that has been proposed, and which is rapidly gaining popularity, is the designation of Marine Protected Area (MPA). These are demarcated areas that prohibit (or at least restrict) consumptive or extractive uses, such that human interferences and impacts are minimised. In this edited collection of papers, most of which have been written or co-written by the authors themselves, Sobel and Dahlgren have presented an excellent synopsis of the rationale behind, and the scientific basis underpinning, the use of marine reserves as a management tool. In addition, they have devoted half the book to the provision of case studies.
