Human activities have left a profound imprint on these ecosystems, encompassing a wide spectrum of consequences, ranging from localized pollution to some of the most severe repercussions of global climate change. For professionals, scholars, and students engaged in coastal science and policy, this timely book serves as a comprehensive examination and illustration of current and emerging challenges. Spanning from upper estuaries to open coasts and adjoining seas, from tropical to temperate latitudes, and from Europe to Australia, this authoritative volume commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association. Drawing upon the expertise of over 60 specialist contributors, individual chapters delve into diverse topics such as coastal erosion and deposition, the transition between open shores and estuaries, marine plastics, coastal squeeze and habitat loss, tidal freshwaters, saline intrusion and estuarine squeeze, restoration management utilizing remote data collection, carbon storage, species distribution and non-native species, shorebirds, modeling environmental change, physical processes like sediments and modeling, sea level rise and estuarine tidal dynamics, estuaries as fish nurseries, policy versus reality in coastal conservation, and developments in estuarine, coastal, and marine management. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of current scientific knowledge, the material compiled herein offers a discerning perspective on the necessary actions required to safeguard these delicate and indispensable ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 786g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 244 x 170 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781784272852\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100871127290,"sku":"9781784272852","price":53.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1651228880390_book.jpg?v=1651262280","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/challenges-in-estuarine-and-coastal-science-estuarine-and-coastal-sciences-association-50th-anniversary-volume-9781784272852","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
