The book adopts an ecosystemic perspective, emphasising the necessity of considering entire marine systems rather than isolated components. It explores how various factors—including species richness, environmental variability, and system openness—modulate the impacts of human-induced pressures. By addressing the cumulative and synergistic effects of multiple stressors, the editors advocate for holistic approaches to marine conservation and management.
Structured to benefit both researchers and policymakers, the volume includes case studies and methodological discussions that highlight tools for assessing and mitigating anthropogenic impacts. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the current state of marine environments and for informing sustainable practices. This work is particularly pertinent for professionals engaged in marine ecology, environmental policy, and resource management, offering insights into preserving the health and diversity of oceanic ecosystems.
