Dynamic Response of Coasts and Estuaries to Human Impacts/Изменения побережий и устьев рек под влиянием деятельности человека

Издание на английском языке
The book explores the importance of coastal ecosystems, which play a key role in transportation, commerce, and cultural needs, but face serious challenges due to global warming and human activities. The author uses specific examples to show how these environments respond to strong human influences and which management strategies have been successful or unsuccessful. The focus is on the problems of pollution and degradation, as well as the need for more effective management of coastal resources. The book is intended for specialists in the field of oceanography and ecology, as well as students, and offers valuable lessons for the protection and restoration of coastal ecosystems in a changing climate.
