Industry Reviews
'This comprehensive Handbook highlights, using both a scientific and a social lens, the importance of ocean governance, conservation and sustainable management. Healthy oceans play fundamental roles in improving human health and well-being, contributing to food security and mitigating impacts of climate change. The complexity of the issues relating to oceans requires multidimensional solutions that integrate all aspects of the socio-ecological system. This Handbook highlights solutions derived from a blue economy and an increased role of the private sector, leading to a more sustainable use of ocean resources within the framework of the 2030 Agenda.' --(Mette Wilkie, United Nations Environment Programme, Kenya)
'This Handbook is a valuable instrument for science-based decision-making - either by corporate, public or third sector organizations - on a growingly strategic field: sustainable management and conservation of oceans. We should be grateful to all 101 contributors to this important book and make use of its lessons to successfully implement the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.' --(Teresa Patricio Gouveia, Trustee, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation)
