Viac o knihe

The book examines the tension between traditional freedoms of the seas and the recent establishment of marine reserves, which many view as infringing on long-held rights. It focuses on the importance of engaging stakeholders and local communities to ensure the success of marine protected areas. By analyzing the Australian Government's policies, the criteria for selecting marine reserves, and the socio-economic impacts of these decisions, it also evaluates the effectiveness of multiple criteria analysis in the planning process.
