Marine Eutrophication in Perspective: On the Relevance of Ecology for Environmental Policy

Autor Folkert de Jong
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 mai 2006
Is ecological knowledge relevant for environmental policy and if so, to what extent and in what way? These are some of the basic questions addressed in this book.
Triggered by a series of oxygen depletion events in German, Danish and Swedish coastal waters at the beginning of the 1980s, international policies to reduce inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus to the North Sea were agreed upon by the North Sea states.
The book provides a critical analysis of the role, scientists and scientific information, as well as civil servants, have played in the formulation and implementation of these decisions.

Recenzii

From the reviews of the first edition:
"This book focuses on the relevance of ecology for environmental policy by taking up the theme of marine eutrophication as an illustrative case. … The book presents an interesting account of developments in science and policy making in NW Europe and of their interacting processes. Therefore, the book makes a useful reading for both politicians and water quality managers, as it gives insight into the processes involved in interactions of science, policy making and politics." (Karel Essink, Aquatic Ecology, Vol. 40, 2006)
