The authors successfully argue that a holistic conceptual understanding of social, legal, and political issues, as well as science, is necessary for successful management of marine and coastal resources. During a period in history when issues such as climate change, overfishing, and marine pollution are becoming substantial public concerns, this volume provides a very accessible summary of the current state of marine conservation issues.”  (\u003ci\u003eThe Quarterly Review of Biology\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 October 2015)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“This is critical reading for anyone interested in the marine environment.
