Описание: Marine debris is a persistent problem in many coastal areas of the United States. There are a variety of potential economic losses associated with marine debris, including effects on commercial fisheries, effects on waterfront property values, costs incurred by local governments and volunteer organizations to remove and dispose of marine debris, and more general "existence" values reflecting the publics preference for a clean environment. This book discusses marine debris and steps to mitigate its effects.

Описание: To be effective, today`s young scientists need to apply their research outside their specialty, but the skills needed to do this well are rarely taught at university. Written specifically for early career-scientists, this step-by-step guide will help readers develop these skills, maximising the chance of a successful and effective career.

Описание: Intended for readers interested in ecology conservation and natural history, this book describes the threats humans pose to freshwater animals, making them more endangered than their land and sea counterparts. The consequences of human activities on freshwater ecosystems, and how to mitigate them, is a recurring theme.

Описание: In Climate Change and Marine and Freshwater Toxins the editors have assembled contributions from a team of international experts to expand the framework for an appropriate assessment of climate change impacts on aquatic toxins. While the production of toxins by microalgae has been known for decades, establishing a factual link supported by scientific evidence is a very complex endeavor. The increasing frequency and distribution of toxic blooms for example continue to raise serious concerns regarding seafood and drinking water safety. This book compiles current evidence on the influence of climate change on the spreading of toxin producing species in aquatic systems. The chemistry and biology of toxin production is revised and an outlook on control and prevention of the toxin's impact on human and animal health is given. •Compelling quantitative evidence of complex interactions from primary toxin producers and along the food chain. •Latest advances on prediction and prevention of water toxin threats to human and animal health. •A must read for insights into aquatic toxins and their modification by climatic conditions.
