'Water Resources and Coastal Management is a timely contribution to the literature on integrated coastal management (ICM). . . In providing an interdisciplinary perspective on the science and management of coastal resources, this reader complements the considerable number of academic texts which have been published on ICM over the last decade. . . It is particularly well structured. . . this reader is an excellent resource for a wide range of environmental, marine and coastal scientists and practitioners, as well as its main market - university students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.'
