Book excerpt: Estuary planning is rapidly emerging as an important focus of environmental policy throughout much of the developed world. In Britain, for example, almost every major estuary is the subject of a management plan exercise involving the development of a strategic policy framework as the first step in establishing an estuary planning process. The impetus for such plans has often come from local bodies in the public, private and voluntary sectors, and has arisen from specific issues that require a strategic and coordinated response. This volume is concerned with the Mersey Estuary, the first highly developed estuary in Western Europe for which a management plan has been prepared. Estuaries of this kind present a particularly difficult challenge in planning terms, given their inherent complexity, the extremely wide range of issues to be confronted and the large number of organizations with a vested interest in river activities. Given that there were no "models" to follow, it has been necessary in the Mersey Plan to develop a completely new approach. This is reflected in the strategic policy framework that has been produced, which enables policies to be developed systematically having regard to their wide consequences. Individual policy areas have also required novel treatment: particular examples are the approaches adopted in developing policies for estuary dynamics, water quality and pollution, biodiversity, land use and development, commercial navigation and port development, urban regeneration, and tourism and recreation.

Book excerpt: There is clearly a need for a report that describes the nature of the entire framework for coastal management in the UK. This report attempts to fill that need. Its purpose is to provide an informed, readable and relatively non-technical appreciation of coastal management. It presents a synthesis of the enormous volume of legislation, policy advice and research relevant to the management of the coastal zone.
Download or read book Coastal and Estuarine Management written by Peter French and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coast cannot be left to nature to determine its fate. Wealth, property, economic interests, recreation, tourism and wildlife are all threatened. Coasts are an administrative battle ground and one of the most important and widely examined topics in environmental management. Coastal and Estuarine Management examines the issues surrounding the human use and abuse of estuarine and coastal environments. Emphasising the importance and significance of this natural resource, the uses and conflicts which occur and the results of human activity, this book explains the ways in which conservation and management policies and practices can protect this productive and diverse ecosystem. Examples and real-life case studies illustrate the effect of human intervention, both from an historic and contemporary perspective. Exposing the environmental consequences of estuarine pollution, Peter French highlights the need for management strategies to promote a sustainable development ethic for estuaries.
Download or read book Landscape and Sustainability written by John F. Benson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2005-11-29 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book is about landscape, sustainability and the practices of the professions which plan, design and manage landscapes at many scales and in many locations; urban, suburban and rural. Despite the ubiquity of 'sustainability' as a concept, this is the first book to address the relationship between landscape architecture and sustainability in a comprehensive way. Much in the book is underpinned by landscape ecology, in contrast to the idea of landscape as only appealing to the eye or aspiring cerebrally to be fine art. As this book argues, landscape is and must be much more than this; landscape architecture is about making places which are biologically wholesome, socially just and spiritually rewarding.

Download or read book Landscape and Sustainability written by John Benson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book addresses the issue of sustainability from the point of view of landscape architecture, dealing with professional practices of planners, designers and landscape managers. This second edition contains updated and new material reflecting developments during the last five years and comprehensively addresses the relationship between landscape architecture and sustainability. Much in the text is underpinned by landscape ecology, in contrast to the idea of landscape as only appealing to the eye or aspiring cerebrally to be fine art. Landscape and Sustainability establishes that the sustainability agenda needs a new mindset among professionals: the driving question must always be ‘is it sustainable?’ Developing theory into practice, from the global to the local scale and from issues of policy and planning through to detailed design and implementation and on to long-term maintenance and management, the contributors raise and re-examine a complex array of research, policy and professional issues and agendas to contribute to the necessary ongoing debate about the future of both landscape and sustainability.
Download or read book River Basin Restoration and Management written by A. Ostfeld and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: River Basin Restoration and Management is the result of two workshops that took place at the 4th IWA World Water Congress: The Restoration of Degraded River Basins and River Basin Management Using Machine Learning. The Restoration of Degraded River Basins set out to share experience in the institutional, policy, and public participation elements of restoration programmes, the 'soft' issues surrounding restoration of a degraded river basin and the development of the river basin plan. The resulting papers include a number of case studies from a variety of river basins in Israel, South Africa, United Kingdom, Australia and Central Europe. The River Basin Management Using Machine Learning workshop highlighted and compared the two different approaches to watershed management: the physically based modelling approach relying on the system physics versus the data driven modelling approach based on exploring the system 'data behaviour'. The workshop was motivated by the recent rapid advance in information processing systems. These have pushed the hydrological research community to explore the possibilities of using intelligent systems aimed at automatically-evolving models of natural phenomena. This is the discipline of machine learning (ML), the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience.
Download or read book Towards Coastal Resilience and Sustainability written by C. Patrick Heidkamp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal zones represent a frontline in the battle for sustainability, as coastal communities face unprecedented economic challenges. Coastal ecosystems are subject to overuse, loss of resilience and increased vulnerability. This book aims to interrogate the multi- scalar complexities in creating a more sustainable coastal zone. Sustainability transitions are geographical processes, which happen in situated, particular places. However, much contemporary discussion of transition is either aspatial or based on implicit assumptions about spatial homogeneity. This book addresses these limitations through an examination of socio- technological transitions with an explicitly spatial focus in the context of the coastal zone. The book begins by focusing on theoretical understandings of transition processes specific to the coastal zone and includes detailed empirical case studies. The second half of the book appraises governance initiatives in coastal zones and their efficacy. The authors conclude with an implicit theme of social and environmental justice in coastal sustainability transitions. Research will be of interest to practitioners, academics and decision- makers active in the sphere of coastal sustainability. The multi- disciplinary nature encourages accessibility for individuals working in the fields of Economic Geography, Regional Development, Public Policy and Planning, Environmental Studies, Social Geography and Sociology.
