Application of the biosphere reserve concept to coastal marine areas : papers presented at the Unesco/IUCN San Francisco Workshop of 14-20 August 1989
A straight forward presentation of the keynote papers and case studies prepared for the workshop on coastal marine biosphere serves held in 1989. The keynote papers together provide an excellent digest of the different factors to be considered in biosphere reserve planning, examining constraints across the full range of physical to socio-economic spheres. These are supplemented by case studies illustrating the practicalities of applying the biosphere reserve concept in a wide range of coastal environments.
