Coastal wetlands : an integrated ecosystem approach /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

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 include the destruction or degradation of wetlands from land reclamation and infrastructures. Indir...
