Book Description
A Buzzards Bay remains one of the few relatively pristine bays in the metropolitan corridor from Washington to Boston. The bay and its surrounding marshes and uplands have provided a variety of biotic resources not only to European settlers over nearly 400 years but also to the Native Americans who relied on this estuary for thousands of years before them. Today the uplands are divided between 18 communities, and while the bay is still exploited for its biotic resources, its aesthetic and recreational values add to the growing concern to preserve its environmental quality. At the same time, it has become clear that the health of the Buzzards Bay ecosystem, like almost all estuarine systems, is controlled not just by processes within the bay waters themselves but also by inputs from the surrounding uplands as well. Therefore, to properly understand and manage this system, it is important to detail activities and land use patterns within the watershed as well as within the tidal reach of the bay waters. This combined watershed-bay system is referred to as the "Buzzards Bay Ecosystem" and is the necessary frame of reference for understanding - the biotic structure of the bay and for managing and conserving its resources. This community profile provides an overview of the ecology of the Buzzards Bay ecosystem. It is not intended to represent an all-inclusive review of the literature; instead it is an attempt to present key features of the bay in a readily accessible form and to summarize the dominant ecological processes that structure the bay environment. Because the current and future environmental health of these types of embayments can be directly influenced by activities within contributing watersheds, understanding the interactions between land and sea is an important component to understanding the ecosystem as a whole.

Economic Losses from Marine Pollution

Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Marine pollution causes significant damage to fisheries and other economically productive uses of the ocean. The value of that damage can be quantified by economists, but the meanings of those valuations and how they are derived are often obscure to noneconomists.Economic Losses from Marine Pollution brings a fuller understanding of the variety and extent of marine losses and how they are assessed to scientists, lawyers, and environmentalists by systematically identifying and classifying marine losses and relating them to models and methods of economic valuation. The authors use a step-by-step approach to show how economists have used these methods and how they approach the problem of assessing economic damage.The book begins by describing the importance of economic valuation of marine damages, the history of concern over marine pollution, and the development of economic methodologies to assess damage from it. Following that, the book: considers types of marine pollution and their effects on organisms, ecosystems, and humans, and the corresponding economic effects of those biological impacts introduces the economic principles and methods needed to understand and to assess economic damages expresses losses from water quality impairments in terms of economic value introduces the basic economic techniques that have been developed and used to measure changes in economic value discusses how to apply those economic techniques, and presents a variety of practical examples explores limitations and problems that can arise in such applied work.Economic Losses from Marine Pollution includes all of the relevant economic theory together with specific examples of how that theory has been and can be applied. It offers environmental professionals with little or no background in economics the basic economic tools needed to understand economic valuations of environmental damage, and represents a unique handbook for environmental and marine scientists, lawyers, economists, policy professionals, and anyone interested in issues of marine water quality.
