Conserving Marine Environments: out of site out of mind

Edited by Pat Hutchings & Daniel Lunney
ISBN 0 9586085 6 3

Proceedings of the annual RZS forum held to discuss the challenges of marine conservation in Australia.. The rationale for the RZS hosting a marine forum reflects not only Australia’s island status and our vast oceanic surroundings, but the work of a small, dedicated band of researchers who have bought so many of the current issues in marine and coastal environments to the surface for public comment. This book is a high water mark in capturing the range of skills that are needed to see and conserve out marine environments.
