A technologically sophisticated database, ... see all copies from $21.63! new only from $31.35!
8	Marine Conservation Biology: The Science of Maintaining the Sea's Biodiversity more books like this by Elliott A Norse (Editor), Larry B Crowder (Editor), Conservation Biology Institute Marine (Editor) Humans are terrestrial animals, and our capacity to see and understand the importance and vulnerability of life in the sea has trailed our growing ability to harm it. While conservation biologists are working to address environmental problems humans have created on land, loss of marine biodiversity, including extinctions and habitat degradation, ... see all copies from $44.96! new only from $44.96! \| SVS
9	A Rapid Marine Biodiversity Assessment of the Coral Reefs of Northwest Madagascar more books like this by Sheila A McKenna (Editor), Dr. Gerald R Allen (Editor) This volume reports the results of a marine survey in 2002 off the northwestern coast of Madagascar. This marine area is one that many conservationists think has the greatest potential in all of Madagascar for the development of both ecotourism and marine protected areas. The survey documented a rich variety of coral, mollusk, and fish species, ... see all copies from $18.65! new only from $18.65!
10	Deep-Water Coral Reefs: Unique Biodiversity Hot-Spots more books like this by Martin Hovland (Editor) Deep-water coral reefs are found along large sections of the outer continental shelves and slopes of Europe, from North Cape to the Gulf of Cadiz, and because they also occur along the Atlantic seaboard of USA, the Gulf of Mexico, off Brazil, in the Mediterranean, and off New Zealand, they are currently being targeted by international groups of ... see all copies from $146.30! new only from $146.30! \| SVS
