FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This book explores the types of conflicts that occur over marine and coastal resources, the underlying causes, and attempts to prevent them.Despite the emergence of various marine and coastal governance approaches to address the effects of human activities within the marine environment, conflict continues. In this book, the author outlines the reasons conflicts can, and do, arise in the marine and coastal environment. Drawing on case studies from both the northern and southern hemispheres, the book takes a broad view of how we interact with our environment, of how and why conflict is perpetuated as a political and cultural phenomenon, and how this varies or remains constant across space and place. The case studies explore not only the underlying perceptions and needs of those involved in marine and coastal conflict and the types of conflicts that arise in oceanic and coastal areas, but also the underpinning reasons for these conflicts. Marine and coastal resource conflicts have the potential to derail conservation efforts and blue growth policies, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Thus, it is imperative we understand the drivers and exacerbating factors of marine and coastal conflict. Arguing that there is an urgent need for renewed thinking and focus on conflict prevention, the author develops a theory of marine and coastal conflict which allows us to understand those factors and the means to help prevent such conflicts arising in the first place.This book will be of interest to students and researchers of coastal and marine science and environmental management as well as those working in the field of marine resource management, including coastal zone managers and fisheries managers.

Review

"This book, by way of in depth analysis of multiple case studies across the world, offers fresh perspectives on the issue of conflict in coastal and marine areas. It reflects on the role of conflict, neatly brings together theory with examples of practice and presents a convincing rationale for why we need to engage with it to achieve management outcomes. Written in a very personal and engaging manner, the text immediately evokes the importance of the issues while retaining scholarly depth. This book will provide great insights into those interested in how to navigate the conflicts prevalent in our beautiful marine and coastal areas." - Melissa Nursey-Bray, University of Adelaide, Australia"This book, by way of in depth analysis of multiple case studies across the world, offers fresh perspectives on the issue of conflict in coastal and marine areas.

Long Description

Global marine and coastal systems are under increasing pressure, leading to environmental degradation, competition and conflict over these common pool and often poorly regulated resources. Operationalising holistic management strategies such as ecosystem-based management (EBM) and the creation of marine protected areas (MPAs) has been slow and problematic as conflicts prevent political consensus. This book presents the reasons that conflict can, and does, arise in the marine and coastal environment. It explores the types of conflicts that occur and the underlying perceptions and needs of stakeholders and actors involved, including those in the shipping, fisheries and aquaculture, biodiversity conservation, energy and tourism sectors. Further, it considers attempts to resolve conflicts and the potential problems that these so-called 'resolution tools' can create. Case studies are drawn from the northern and southern hemispheres as well as developed and developing countries, including Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Ireland, UK and USA.
