Coastal ecosystem in transition: a comparative analysis of the Northern Adriatic and Chesapeake Bay

A new book, entitled Coastal Ecosystems in Transition: A Comparative Analysis of the Northern Adriatic and Chesapeake Bay (AGU Wiley, New Jersey) edited by T.C. Malone, A. Malej and J. Faganeli, reports the comparison of ecosystems of the northern Adriatic and the Chesapeake Bay. It enlarges our knowledge of anthropogenic pressures on coastal ecosystems where is concentrated the majority of the population and the exploitation of natural resources. The topics are focused on demonstration and evaluation of changes over the last twenty years in the context of global climate change, an assessment of the success of management efforts, and the reduction of anthropogenic pressures on coastal ecosystems. The book builds on our knowledge of the effects of human activities on coastal ecosystems in which natural resources have been overexploited.
