Couverture de l’ouvrage Asia-Pacific Coasts and Their Management

The Asia and Pacific region is home to the world?s largest concentration of coral reefs and mangroves. It accommodates two-thirds of the world?s human population and its economic activities have the highest growth rate in the world. This book gives an overview of the state-of-the-art understanding on the drivers, state, and responses to the coastal environmental changes in the Asia and Pacific region. It provides important perspectives on the subject for researchers.
