Marine Protected Areas for Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises : A World Handbook for Cetacean Habitat Conservation and Planning Paperback / softback
by Erich Hoyt
Part of the Earthscan Oceans series
Paperback / softback
Description
The first edition of the widely praised Marine Protected Areas for Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, published in 2005, led to numerous new marine protected area proposals and a number of notable conservation successes around the world.
In this completely revised and expanded second edition, new developments in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Pacific are described, as well as future directions for High Seas protection.
New sections show how to design and manage Marine Protected Areas (MPA's) in an ever noisier ocean subject to climate change, increased shipping and hydrocarbon exploration.
The process of protected area creation for cetaceans has been accelerated and more than 200 exciting new places are detailed in this edition.
This book provides a route map for MPA managers, as well as countries, to meet the ambitious targets for highly protected MPA networks by 2012 and 2020.
Marine Protected Areas for Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises is a key conservation tool and a springboard for worldwide change in human attitudes toward the world ocean where all life originated and where the majority of life on Earth still lives.
