As governments around the world work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, the trans-disciplinary topic of oceans management is fast being recognized as one of the most important challenges of the twenty-first century. This timely Handbook takes stock of the state of knowledge on ecosystem services derived from coastal and marine areas and offers innovative proposals for the future of this important topic.

The Handbook on the Economics and Management of Sustainable Oceans brings together a carefully chosen collection of world-class contributions from ecology, economics and other development sciences. It provides policy-relevant scientific information on key topics such as ecosystem services from marine and coastal ecosystems and the nuances of economic valuation. Detailed chapters also consider relevant legal and sociological response policies for effective management of marine areas for enhanced human well-being.

This comprehensive Handbook will be essential reading for advanced students and academics in economics, environment studies and resource management. The contributors also focus on the nexus of science-society and science-policy with the objective of educating decision-makers in governmental agencies, industry and civil society.

Industry Reviews
'This important new book reveals the complex issues facing the planet's oceans, a vital global commons. The detailed description of practical policy tools and innovative solutions should be recommended reading for anyone working on the health and sustainable management of the marine environment.' --(Naoko Ishii, CEO and Chairperson, Global Environment Facility)

'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)
