<BR>Coastal wetlands are under a great deal of pressure from the
dual forces of rising sea level and the intervention of human
populations both along the estuary and in the river catchment.
Direct impacts are direct such as the destruction or degradation of
wetlands from land reclamation and infrastructures and indirect such
as the impact of pollutants and changes in the river water and
sediment discharge from land clearing and dams. As sea level rises,
coastal wetlands in most areas of the world migrate landward to
occupy former uplands. The competition of these lands from human
development is intensifying, making the landward migration
impossible in many cases. This book provides an understanding of the
functioning of coastal ecosystems and the ecological services that
they provide, and suggestions for their management. In this book a
CD is included containing color figures of wetlands and estuaries in
different parts of the world.<BR><BR><SPAN class=verdana11Blue><B><A
