Coastal Sustainability

This book focusses at summarizing the main scientific elements of coastal zone management in coastal deltas and areas, but not only limited to that. Pollution, environmental impacts, coastal development, and oceanographic principles could be useful for South Asian and European students in marine and coastal science, providing a multidisciplinary vision. This comprehensive review delves into the intricate relationship between humans and the ocean. With contributions from leading scholars, it explores integrated coastal zone management in the Anthropocene era, addressing emerging ecological challenges and urbanization trends. The book emphasizes the importance of marine conservation and sustainable practices while discussing the future of integrated coastal zone management. It highlights the significance of preserving marine biodiversity and showcases the contributions of international collaborations like the "Mare" project. With a vision for a sustainable future, the book inspires readers to become advocates for positive change in our relationship with the ocean. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and environmentalists, offering insights to foster a deeper appreciation and awareness of our marine ecosystems.
