Abstract
Ecology of Estuaries: Anthropogenic effects represents the most definitive and comprehensive source of reference information available on the human impact on estuarine ecosystems. the volume discusses both acute and insidious pollution problems plaguing these coastal ecotones. It also provides a detailed examination of the deleterious and pervasive effects human activities have on biotic communities and sensitive habitat areas in estuaries. The diverse components of the anthropogenic influences are assembled in an organized framework and presented in a clear and concise style that facilitates their understanding.
