"The sea and land, and the peoples that span these liminal spaces
are often treated in isolation, both in academic scholarship and in
practice. This introductory text takes a widescreen,
interdisciplinary approach to illuminating these interdependent
socio-ecological processes, with keen attention to their equity
implications."
Dr. Kenny Broad, University of Miami"Oceans and Society: An
Introduction to Marine Studies places the relationship between
people and the ocean at its heart. The book echoes calls for
interdisciplinary thinking, championing the development of
innovative ways to better understand the relationships between
people, ocean, and place, through useful case studies."
Dr. Emma McKinley, Research Fellow, School of Earth and
Environmental Sciences, Cardiff University & Chair of the Marine
Social Sciences Network"As our climate changes and global
populations reach eight Billion, we must improve ocean management.
This book sets an important foundation for ocean management, as it
introduces the breadth of marine studies, and connects oceans and
society."
Dr. Quentin Hanich, Ocean Nexus Chair in Fisheries Governance;
Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security
(ANCORS), University of Wollongong"The challenges faced by our
oceans are complex, multi-faceted and inter-related. Future ocean
stewardship will rely on interdisciplinary approaches. This book is
a timely compilation which will help guide students from diverse
disciplinary backgrounds to an appreciation of the benefits and
opportunities associated with engaging with human dimensions
approaches."
Dr Michelle Voyer, Senior Research Fellow Australian National
Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS) at University of
Wollongong"A must-read book for graduate students in the field of
marine management. Understanding the ‘ocean-society’ intersection,
from multiple perspectives and applied to multiple grand
challenges, is essential to enable these next-generation marine
managers to work collaboratively towards sustainable and just ocean
futures." Dr. Megan Bailey, Associate Professor and Canada Research
Chair, Marine Affairs Program, Dalhousie University"Oceans and
Society is a valuable introduction to the human dimension of
coastal and ocean issues, accessible to individuals with a variety
of backgrounds united by their passion to sustain a healthy future
for our ocean, coasts, and people."
