The Blue Compendium
Home to over 80 percent of all life on Earth, the ocean is the world’s largest carbon sink and a key source of food and economic security for billions of people. The relevance of the ocean for humanity's future is undisputed. However, the ocean’s great potential to drive economic growth and equitable job creation, sustain healthy ecosystems, and mitigate climate change is not yet fully recognised. Lack of awareness of this potential as well as management and governance challenges pose impediments. Until these impediments are removed, ocean ecosystems will continue to be degraded and opportunities for people lost. A transition and a clear path to a thriving and vibrant relationship betwee...

Conserving the Oceans
Conserving the Oceans documents a paradigm shift in global ocean conservation towards large marine protected areas (MPAs) that began in 2006, leading to millions of square kilometres of newly protected ocean space. The book reconciles how states have committed to these ambitious new protections while still being highly responsive to the interests of businesses. From the commercial fishing sector to ecotourism, businesses heavily influence conservation policy, occasionally leading to robust protections but more often than not to business-as-usual activity on the water. Ultimately, the book questions if we are still doing too little to prevent the worst impacts of the global environmental crisis despite the paradigm shift in global ocean conservation.
Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists
Ecological dynamics are tremendously complicated and are studied at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Ecologists often simplify analysis by describing changes in density of individuals across a landscape, and statistical methods are advancing rapidly for studying spatio-temporal dynamics. However, spatio-temporal statistics is often presented using a set of principles that may seem very distant from ecological theory or practice. This book seeks to introduce a minimal set of principles and numerical techniques for spatio-temporal statistics that can be used to implement a wide range of real-world ecological analyses regarding animal movement, population dynamics, community compositio...
Governing for transformation towards sustainable small-scale fisheries
This volume provides a human-centered perspective, building on the expanding horizon from biological and economic management to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary aquatic resources governance. It was prepared in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). It also provides an update of Berkes’ book, Coasts for People. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Coastal and Marine Resource Management (Routledge, 2015). The original chapters of the book served as the first draft of seven of the chapters, all of them rewritten with multiple authors (total of 20...
