Ocean Conservation~

Description

As an island nation, Australia has a strong reliance on the health and sustainability of its surrounding oceans, yet an Australian Oceans Policy is still being developed since it was first announced in 1998. This Issue examines Australia’s ocean management and protection of its vast marine jurisdictions. It also explores marine species conservation, with a focus on fisheries management, whaling, marine species protection and attempts to control and eradicate introduced marine species in order to preserve marine biodiversity. This book also details plans to conserve the Great Barrier Reef; the impacts of coral bleaching; and the effects of pollution on our oceans.
