Rezensionen

"This book can and should be used as a tool by planners, policy makers, and others to stop or even reverse the human-led detrimental process of ocean and coastal pollution and degradation. The book's largest contribution lies in the fact that unlike other scientific literature on the subject, it specifically focuses on planning and provides planners (and others) the tools to make a change in an area that desperately needs one." (Yael Teff-Seker, Journal of Planning Education and Research, May 2017)

"Portman (architecture, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) examines how planning can advance environmental conditions in ocean and coastal areas. ... The text includes a generous number of high-quality photographs, figures, and tables. Each chapter contains references, and the work provides a much needed list of abbreviations. The value of the book is its comprehensive treatment of planning needs for ocean and coastal areas. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers and faculty; professionals." (J. B. Huffman, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
