Oceans and Human Health: Opportunities and Impacts

Oceans and Human Health: Opportunities and Impacts, Second Edition expands the focus of interactions between the oceans and human health (OHH) to include benefits, opportunities, as well as risks. This new edition combines marine biology, oceanography, toxicology, natural products chemistry, environmental microbiology, urban planning, epidemiology, and public health to understanding the ways in which the ocean and the human population affect each other.Written and edited by an international and interdisciplinary team of experts, this book begins with the newer information that has been researched on OHH, highlighting benefits to the relationship between oceans and humans; cultural and historic values, food, and medicines are covered here. It then delves into the risks and negative human impacts, including climate change, ecosystem degradation, harmful algal blooms, and various forms of pollution. The book then emphasizes tools and solutions for addressing and curbing these risks, from the scientific aspect of monitoring and measuring to the social aspect of community engagement and legal regulation. It concludes with a look at the future of OHH and how communities around the world can act together to conserve this relationship. Oceans and Human Health: Opportunities and Impacts, Second Edition is an interdisciplinary resource for researchers from numerous backgrounds, ranging from marine sciences, sustainability, evolution, and ecology. Advanced students and academics studying OHH will also find this as a vital resource for understanding past, present, and future implications.
