Ecology of Estuaries represents the most definitive and comprehensive source of reference information available on the human impact on estuarine ecosystems. The volume discusses both acute and insidious pollution problems plaguing these coastal ecotones. It also provides a detailed examination of the deleterious and pervasive effects of human activities on biotic communities and sensitive habitat areas in estuaries. Specific areas covered include organic loading, oil pollution, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, heavy metals, dredging and dredged-spoil disposal, radionuclides, as well as other contaminants and processes. The diverse components of these anthropogenic influences are assembled in an organized framework and presented in a clear and concise style that facilitates their understanding.

A real page tunner,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ecology of Estuaries: Anthropogenic Effects (Marine Science) (v. 3) (Hardcover)
I found this book a page tunner. It really brought me into the outside world and exposed me to my surroundings. I feel more in touch with the biotic factors around me.
