Using case studies from Florida and the Caribbean region, this book summarizes the state of coral reef conservation today. The question this book answers is, what is the best way to protect the vulnerable coral reefs, with an ever-worsening climate crisis? The book’s contribution is looking closely at people’s avenues to participate in coral reef management, and how the public is increasingly making their voices heard in the management process.
The 11 chapters of this interesting work provide a focused, informative, and engaging discussion of how climatic factors and other environmental issues are promoting the decline of coral reefs and how necessary the restoration and maintenance of coral reefs are, preeminently for the health of the world’s oceans. -- Choice
