Media reviews
E. Naylor, School of Ocean Sciences, University of Wales-Bangor, U.K. ...The editor and authors are to be congratulated for their achievement in compiling these volumes which offer a wealth of well-sourced information and ideas as a basis for further debate concerning regional comparisons and spread of best practice in coastal zone management. The books should be an invaluable worldwide reference source for higher education establishments and research organizations concerned with marine environmental science, fisheries, oceanography and engineering, for industrialists concerned with coastal zone development, and for marine policy makers worldwide. They should also be a required source of information for all national and international aid agencies, and should be of high priority in book presentations provided as part of aid programmes to developing nations. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science 53, 123-124 J. Albaiges, CID-CSIC, Barcelona, Spain ...This impressive work provides a comprehensive review of the many environmental issues that should be taken into account, at global and regional levels, for a successful and sustainable use of our seas in the decades to come. The editorial aspects have been carefully handled. Comprehensive maps for each region, updated statistics and references (until the year 2000) and a very extensive subject index (about 100 pages) are provided. This is, in summary, an invaluable source of information for academics both as a reference and teaching tool, and for all researchers and policy makers with an interest in marine environmental sciences, oceanography and marine engineering.
