Marine Ecotourism

Abstract

Sixth in the CABI Ecotourism Series, this volume illustrates three important points. First, there is a substantial eco- and adventure-tourism sector along ocean coastlines and out at sea. Second, as on land, ocean tourism is often in competition with extractive primary industries that may be severely degrading tourism resources. Third, knowledge of ocean ecosystems and of human impacts on them is far less detailed than for their terrestrial counterparts.
