| Description: |
This second publication in a series by the same author examines human influence on sand dunes in the main temperate coastal habitats. The volume explores the latest management options as well as their likely socio-economic and environmental outcomes. |
| Synopsis: |
This book deals with the development of temperate coastal sand dunes and the way these have been influenced by human activity. The different states in which the habitat exists both for the beach/foredune and inland dune are reviewed against the pressures exerted upon them. Options for management are considered and the likely consequences of taking a particular course of action highlighted. These options include traditional approaches to the conservation and management of wildlife and landscapes as well as habitat restoration. The way the value of the areas changes under different management regimes is considered mainly from an environmental perspective. Consideration is given to new approaches to management and restoration including adopting a more dynamic approach.AudienceThis book will be of interest to academics, students and professionals concerned with policy formulation and /or actively managing coastal areas. |
