MARINE POLLUTION - MONITORING MANAGEMENT AND MI...

The study of marine environments inevitably involves considering the problem of marine
pollution  which includes questions that focus on the essential need to ensure the long-term
health of these exceptional ecosystems and the lives and livelihoods they support. The open
access textbook Marine Pollution: monitoring  management and mitigation approaches these
questions in a practical and highly readable format. It gives newcomers to the field background
and perspective through the first comprehensive  multidisciplinary exploration of the topic.
The topic is indeed complex  requiring the integration of the natural sciences and chemistry
with management  policymakers  industry and all of us who are users of the marine environment.
The textbook was written by leading experts to especially prepare graduates for a career in
marine pollution studies. At the same time  it is relevant for anyone invested in the marine
environment with a will to reduce their impacts. The chapters can easily be used independently
and are also connected through the cross-referencing of related content. The introductory
chapter provides a historical account of marine pollution and explores the fundamental
physicochemical conditions of seawater. Two full chapters cover the requisite resources for
ensuring success in field and laboratory studies. Then  chapter by chapter the book dives into
to the various types of marine pollutants. In closing  it discusses the challenges of
understanding multiple stressors and presents mitigation and restoration practices  along with
a global overview of marine pollution legislation. We envisioned this textbook as being open
access for the very reason we created it: this topic calls for global contributions and
champions  and financial restraints should not limit access to this knowledge.
