Treatise on Estuarine and Coastal Science

Please note that this 12 volume publication -  Treatise on Estuarine and Coastal Science -  is available online from Elsevier.

The study of estuaries and coasts has seen enormous growth in recent years, since changes in these areas have a large effect on the food chain, as well as on the physics and chemistry of the ocean. As the coasts and river banks around the world become more densely populated, the pressure on these ecosystems intensifies, putting a new focus on environmental, socio-economic and policy issues.
