This handbook is the first of its kind to provide a clear, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to the most important scientific and management topics in marine environmental protection. Leading experts discuss the latest perspectives and best practices in the field with a particular focus on the functioning of marine ecosystems, natural processes, and anthropogenic pressures. The book familiarizes readers with the intricacies and challenges of managing coasts and oceans more sustainably, and guides them through the maze of concepts and strategies, laws and policies, and the various actors that define our ability to manage marine activities. Providing valuable thematic insights into marine management to inspire thoughtful application and further study, it is essential reading for marine environmental scientists, policy-makers, lawyers, practitioners and anyone interested in the field.

Markus Salomon is marine biologist working for the German Advisory Council on the Environment. With more than a decade of experience in policy analysis and advice, he has a strong interest in marine environmental protection. Till Markus is a senior legal researcher at the Research Centre for European Environmental Law, Faculty of Law, University of Bremen. He has published extensively in the areas of environmental and international law.
