商品描述
Coastal environments are unique and highly dynamic ecosystems that play a vital role in climate regulation, support biodiversity, and highly impact human activities. This book deals with a combination of specialized areas in multiple fields. It covers the coastal ecosystem of marine life and its importance for biodiversity conservation. Sincerely addressing significant coastal dynamics, including coastal erosion and sedimentation on the shorelines. Natural hazards that caused widespread damage all along the coastal habitation on a global scale. Further, it evaluates the effects of human activities on coastal development, pollution, and predation on marine ecosystems, besides adding notorious human-induced pollution, which is of great environmental concern now. Importantly, this combination of specializing within an area of multiple fields leads to a broad range of research issues. This book offers numerous components of study to create a comprehensive guide for future prospects.
