Geoinformatics for Marine and Coastal Management

This book will provide a timely and valuable assessment of the current state of the art in applying geoinformatics tools and methods to management of marine areas. Its focus is on the cutting-edge coverage of a wide spectrum of activities/topics that constitute the complex socio-ecological system of sustainable coastal management. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the field, covering key issues and debates, and specific case studies illustrating real-world applications of the technology. A follow up to the previous two books on Marine and Coastal GIS, and based on the CoastGIS 2015 Conference, this book will be a useful addition and value to coastal zone managers.
