Big, bold and blue: lessons from Australia’s Marine Protected Areas

摘要

This book represents an excellent reference for anyoneinterested in the administrative and regulatory developmentof marine protected areas in Australia. Thatsounds pretty dry, and parts of this book are (as mostreferences books can be), but nonetheless this is animportant book as never has such a detailed basis foreach state and the Commonwealth marine protectedarea (MPA) system been compiled for easy comparison.It provides a comprehensive view of the currentstate of Australia’s MPAs and the variation across thecountry’s jurisdictions – which can be highly complexand confusing. It is, however, a book of four parts.
