Coastal Oceanography more books like this

by Tetsuo Yanagi

A coastal sea area usually indicates a sea area between a continental shelf break with a water depth of about 200m and the land shore. About 70 per cent of global fish resources spend part of their life cycle in the coastal seas, which accounts for 90 per cent of marine biomass yield. Freshwater and nutrients from the land have a great influence ...
