Synopsis

Adapting to a Changing Environment provides tools and a theoretical framework for governments and managers to understand and confront the consequences of climate change. Focusing on coral reefs and the societies that depend on them--the eastern coastline of Africa and the islands of the western Indian Ocean--the authors examine potential problems and solutions. This book offers an up-to-date and original synthesis of environmental stress, natural resources, and the socioeconomics of climate change.
