The maritime environment includes both the water resource of the terrestrial coast and estaurine and coastal inshore waters. This book, for undergraduate students and those training in the field, relates the need to manage water-based leisure activities with the need to manage the maritime environment on which they depend. The chapters are drawn from a wide author base and contributors range from academics, practitioners and consultants, providing the reader with a balance of theory and practical considerations. Designed specifically for those on water-based leisure courses, it provides a comprehensive overview of the subject with the inclusion of case studies, introductions and summaries to aid study.
