Sea management: a theoretical approach

This book has been conceived with the aim of contributing to the International Conference on Ocean Management in Global Change and to the ocean sciences' debate on the conceptual framework and targets of sea management. The theseis which supports this work is that the more marine scientists are capable of moving towards a general system-based approach to sea uses and environmental implications, making holistic views, and creating common forms for implementing multidisciplinary views, the more sea management will have the opportunity of advancing.
