Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Asia-Pacific region is home to the world's largest region of coral reefs and mangroves. It also includes part of the 'Pacific Rim of Fire' and is, therefore, vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis. This book gives an overview of the understanding on the drivers, state, and responses to coastal environmental changes in the Asia-Pacific region. |
