Download or read book Writing Intensive written by Wendy Strachan and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the few book-length studies of a major post-secondary writing-across-the-curriculum initiative from concept to implementation, Writing-Intensive traces the process of preparation for new writing requirements across the undergraduate curriculum at Simon Fraser University, a mid-sized Canadian research university. As faculty members across campus were selected to pilot writing-intensive courses, and as administrators and committees adjusted the process toward full implementation, planners grounded their pedagogy in genre theory—a new approach for many non-composition faculty. So doing, the initiative aimed to establish a coherent yet rhetorically flexible framework through which students might improve their writing in all disciplines. Wendy Strachan documents this campus cultural transformation, exploring successes and impasses with equal interest. The study identifies factors to be considered to avoid isolating the teaching of writing in writing-intensive courses; to engender a university-wide culture that naturalizes writing as a vital part of learning across all disciplines; and to keep the teaching of writing organic and reflected upon in a scholarly manner across campus. A valuable case history for scholars in writing studies, WAC/WID, and curricular change studies.
Download or read book Marine and Coastal Ecosystem Valuation Institutions and Policy in Southeast Asia written by Nancy Olewiler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-03 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compendium of case studies illustrating how economic tools and techniques can be used to address a wide range of problems in the management and conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems in a developing country context. The studies, which were conducted with support from the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA), cover topics such as mobilizing conservation finance from beneficiaries of marine and coastal ecosystem services; quantifying ecosystem damage and its impact on dependents of ecosystem resources and services; determining the best package of policy reforms that put a price on pollution and regulate economic activities generating pollution with the goal of restoring coastal and marine resources; and analyzing community-based institutions that support sustainable management of fisheries and coastal resources. Studies in the book also provide general guidelines for conducting economic appraisals. It is essential reading for teachers, researchers, students and practitioners in fishery economics, economic development, ecosystem management, and other key issues facing policymakers in the Southeast Asian region.

Download or read book Challenges in Tropical Coastal Zone Management written by Matthias Wolff and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on tropical coasts, which are highly vulnerable due to a multitude of stressors. Population growth is substantial, habitats are lost and biodiversity is reduced at an alarming rate, severely affecting many ecosystem services. This situation calls for sound coastal management and the effective engagement of all relevant stakeholders. About two decades ago the M.Sc. program ISATEC (International Studies in Aquatic Tropical Ecology) was created at Bremen University (Germany) to train young scientists for a professional engagement in the complex field of tropical coastal and resource management. This book provides a platform for those Alumni to report on their work experiences and findings in their home countries and covers all regions of the tropical belt. Part I of the book provides a short review of the state of the tropical ocean and its resources and of international attempts towards sustainable ocean management starting with the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development in 1992. Part II deals with country case studies, and part III focuses on an evaluation & synopsis of those contributions. Emerging key issues for management and conservation of the tropical coastal environments are presented and critical challenges on the path towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are discussed, as are the needs for enhancing research and capacity development.

Book excerpt: Monitoring of reefs under the ASEAN-Australia Living Coastal Resources Project over a span of nearly ten years showed that many of the reefs surveyed in the ASEAN region were poor in live coral cover. Based on available data archived at the project's Regional Database Centre in Bangkok, less than 20% of the reefs in the five participating ASEAN countries are in excellent condition (>75% live coral cover). Analysis indicated that the region's reef could be devided into three distinct groups, all reefs from Thailand (including both the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, all reefs from Indonesia (including both Ujung Kulong-Indian Ocean and Seribu Islands) and a final group that included the reefs of Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. No fixed trends were detected in depth or temporal variation in the regional analysis. [Authors' abstract].

The publication aims to help decision and policy makers around the world understand the importance of coastal habitats to humans, focusing on the role of coral reefs and mangroves. As well as coastal protection, it also addresses the huge range of other benefits provided by these ecosystems and the role that they can play in coastal development and in restoring livelihoods for those suffering from the effects of extreme events
