Marine Conservation Biology
Our lives rely on the ocean, either directly or indirectly.
For our health and for the sake of future generations, we need to have a basic understanding of our environment that enables the world to function as we know it and conservation science needs to be part of the equation.
We live on an amazing planet of immense biological and physical diversity. Our planet is host to complex ecosystems of interacting parts and a change in any single component can have ripple effects throughout all ecosystems.
Without oceans, we would not have the air, water, food and even climate control needed for our very existence. Moreover, the global economy depends on oceans. In fact, the ocean permeates every aspect of our lives.
This volume brings together a variety of topics that are challenging our ocean environment, much of it a product of human activity. Dealing with these issues will require multidisciplinary approaches to managing our ocean resources in a sustainable way so that future generations can enjoy the benefits that this unique environment has to offer.

Read MoreThis book is one of the most compelling reads I've had in my undergraduate experience. Its ability to immerse the reader and captivate interests in complex issues is unlike most readings I've had in the scientific community to date. I feel very lucky to have taken this class and gotten to learn about these concepts from Dr. DeVougelaere.

Read MoreI had a great time going through the book throughout my semester course of the same topic. The videos included along with the local Monterey-based photos are a nice add-on that allowed me to gain more context on the material. I continue to use this book as a mental reference for the future!
