Description: Natural Capital and Exploitation of the Deep Ocean, Hardcover by Baker, Maria (EDT); Ramirez-llodra, Eva (EDT); Tyler, Paul (EDT), ISBN 0198841655, ISBN-13 9780198841654, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The deep ocean is by far the planets largest biome and holds a wealth of potential natural assets. Human exploitation of the deep ocean is rapidly increasing whilst becoming more visible to many through the popular media, particularly film and television. The scientific literature of
deep-sea exploitation and its effects has also rapidly expanded as a direct function of this increased national and global interest in exploitation of deep-sea resources, both biological (. fisheries, genetic resources) and non-biological (. minerals, oil, gas, methane hydrate). At the same
time there is a growing interest in deep-sea contamination (including plastics), with many such studies featured in high profile scientific journals and covered by global media outlets. However, there is currently no comprehensive integration of this information in any form and these topics are only
superficially covered in classic textbooks on deep-sea biology. This concise and accessible work provides an understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, both at the seafloor and in the water column, and how these might be affected as a result of human
interaction, exploitation and, ultimately, environmental change. It follows a logical progression from geological and physical processes, ecology, biology, and biogeography, to exploitation, management, and conservation.
Natural Capital and Exploitation of the Deep Ocean is aimed at marine biologists and ecologists, oceanographers, fisheries scientists and managers, fish biologists, environmental scientists, and conservation biologists. It will also be of relevance and use to a multi-disciplinary audience of fish
and wildlife agencies, NGOs, and government departments involved in deep-sea conservation and management.
