Synopsis:

Coral reefs are important destinations and resources for tourism and bring various benefits to local communities that rely on them as a food source, for financial income, employment and recreational opportunities. However they are under increasing threat from climate change and its related impacts such as coral bleaching and ocean acidification, as well as anthropogenic stresses from human activities including over-fishing, anchor damage, coastal development, agricultural runoffs, sedimentation and coral mining. This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to review these issues as they relate to the sustainable management of coral reefs. It incorporates coral reef science, management, conservation and tourism perspectives to provide a broad coverage of coral reef tourism issues in locations around the world. These include the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo in Australia, the Red Sea, Pacific islands, South East Asia, the Maldives, the Caribbean islands, Florida Keys and Brazil. Specific issues addressed include climate change, pollution threats, recreational fishing, island tourism, cruising, scuba diving, marine wildlife, governance, sustainability and conservation.
