Sustaining the Worlds Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) provides examples of advances made in the operationalization of the five-module approach to ecosystem based management (EBM) for sustaining the goods and services of the worlds LMEs.
This book aims to help people manage coral reefs and other coastal ecosystems; especially to solve problems that flow from nearby catchment (watershed) areas. Such catchment areas may be adjacent to the coral reef, or include areas a long way away and outside the jurisdiction and control of the coastal manager. This book introduces ways to reduce some of that damage through cooperation with people and industries upstream, based on the experiences of many coastal managers around the world.
Without active intervention and management, Marine turtle populations are expected to continue their decline to extinction. This strategy covering nine individual strategies ranging from research and monitoring to funding for marine turtle conservation is intended to meet the need for a comprehensive, unified and global approach to the issues.
