Synopsis

The degradation of aquatic systems through human activities has led to large efforts throughout the world to restore aquatic habitats for economic, cultural and environmental reasons. Nowhere is this more evident than in temperate streams, rivers and estuaries, where huge investments have been made to improve and restore habitats for plant and animal wildlife, particularly fish populations.This book provides a comprehensive, practical resource for developing monitoring and evaluation programmes for freshwater habitat restoration at various scales. Its unique emphasis is on how to monitor effects at habitat unit (site), reach and watershed scales. Numerous examples are given, particularly of restoration activities for coolwater biota and salmonid fishes. However, the principles discussed are relevant worldwide.

About this title

Review

"This pioneering new book embraces many of the key ideas surrounding sustainable tourism."--Bryan Farrell

"A thorough review of what is fast becoming a required area for management attention, this book will be essential guidance for all those with a serious interest in the understanding and sustainable development of the tourism industry."--Dr Hugh Somerville

"For those who are aware of the interconnectedness of destinations and the surprises of the unexpected (from new policies, to market changes, to health, economic or other crises) this book should become an extremely useful tool."--Pam Wight

"This volume makes a very significant contribution because it represents the first serious and properly researched volume on indicators for sustainable tourism. Without such indicators, monitoring is ineffective and policies on sustainable tourism merely rhetoric. It should make a long and valuable contribution to the literature."--Prof. Richard Butler
