Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique textbook presents an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of marine studies, exploring the dynamic relationship between people and the marine environment. Emphasizing the human dimension of coastal and ocean issues, the book provides an innovative examination of the complex marine–human environment dynamics by drawing on social science and humanities approaches. Applying these interdisciplinary approaches, the textbook addresses key challenges facing the marine environment, including changing climate, fisheries, aquaculture, marine pollution, energy production, and management of areas beyond national jurisdiction. While leading with a human dimension approach to these challenges, the chapters are all firmly grounded in foundational knowledge about coastal and ocean environments and processes. The textbook also includes examples of professional or academic areas of specialization within marine studies such as social and environmental justice, governance, global perspectives, traditional ecological knowledge and management, entrepreneurship, community development, conservation, and the blue economy. Ultimately, the book provides the first cohesive resource on marine studies to educate students, train interdisciplinary marine leaders, inspire new knowledge about people and the sea, generate innovative solutions for sustainable oceans, and build capacity for a new generation of marine-focused professionals. Oceans and Society is essential reading for students on marine studies courses, as well as those studying marine governance, policy, conservation, and law more broadly. It will also be of great interest to students, researchers, and professionals interested in applying interdisciplinary approaches to environmental challenges.

Book Innovation Driven Business and Sustainability in the Tropics

Download or read book Innovation Driven Business and Sustainability in the Tropics written by Emiel L. Eijdenberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The edited volume presents the conference proceedings from the “Sustainability, Economics, Innovation, Globalisation and Operational Psychology Conference 2023” (SEIGOP 2023), organized by the Centre for International Trade and Business in Asia (CITBA) at James Cook University, Singapore. This edited volume places the highly dynamic, but also, jeopardized climatological – geographical region of the Tropics centre stage. The region is developing rapidly, with significant progress being made through the development of innovative technologies. The Tropics represent a region in which people live amid the greatest level of biodiversity anywhere on the planet. Nonetheless, propelled by rapid population growth, the Tropics is a region on the rise, with higher living standards and increased levels of international trade and investment. Densely populated emerging countries like India, Indonesia and Nigeria will be among the largest economies of the world by the end of the century. These upward socioeconomic trends are compromised by the impact of climate change on the Tropics’ biodiversity. Such developments have forced policymakers, businesses, and local communities to search for more sustainable and creative ways to live and work. For these reasons, this edited volume presents theory-driven conceptual, qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods studies on the impact of innovation-driven businesses on the complex interplay of socio-cultural, economic, and environmental factors in the Tropics.

Book Seafood Science and Technology

Download or read book Seafood Science and Technology written by E. G. Bligh and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1992 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an edited collection of the review and technical papers presented at the International Conference ′Seafood 2000′ hosted by the Canadian Institute of Fisheries Technology in 1990. Contributions come from an international authorship and provide a valuable resource on the latest and most significant advances in seafood science and technology. A global perspective on seafood science is offered in the introductory papers which focus on the need for new technologies to meet the changing needs of consumers and the seafood industry. Papers on the fats and lipids in fish examine the benefits to human health, the effects of processing and storage, the control of oxidation and the different lipid consumption of farmed fish. Recent processing innovations with emphasis on under–utilized species are reviewed and contributed papers cover such topics as minced fish, surimi, microwave processing, krill and small pelagics. Under seafood biochemistry, and quality assessment, authoritative papers offer updated information on changes induced by iced and frozen storage, together with new quality assessment methods including the K–value, and head–space analysis for TMA. Opportunities for biotechnology and by products are highlighted in a special review and in papers on under–utilized fish, processing wastes, and further developments in microwave and heat–pump drying. The book concludes with a special section devoted to the ever increasing concern over seafood quality assurance and safety including such topics as marine toxins, microwave cooking, listeria in seafoods, and hydrocarbon tainting. This is a most timely publication as fishing nations the world over struggle to better utilize dwindling stocks as food.

It also reports on the status of the world’s fishing fleets and analyses the make-up of human engagement in the sector. Twenty years on from the introduction of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Conduct, and now with the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals, 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Paris Agreement, and the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines, the focus on governance and policy has never been greater. This edition covers recent developments as they relate to fisheries and aquaculture, and reports, inter alia, on the Common Oceans ABNJ Program, FAO’s Blue Growth Initiative and efforts to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. It also discusses issues such as valuing inland fisheries, cutting bycatch and promoting decent work. Other topics highlighted include: nutrition; aquatic invasive alien species; responsible inland fisheries; resilience in fisheries and aquaculture; and governance of tenure and user rights.
