An essential text for all marine
ecology courses
Marine Ecology examines the ecological
issues of marine ecosystems in
unprecedented scope and depth. With
contributions from an impressive group
of Australian and New Zealand marine
ecology academics and researchers, the
book is comprehensive in its examination
of ecology from the perspective of
Australian ecosystems and their future,
and sets a new standard in textbooks on
marine ecology.
The book begins with an examination of
the fundamentals of marine ecology, then
sets the Australian context by explaining
the biogeographic patterns and processes
of the continent. It then provides an
overview of the major marine ecosystems,
and finishes with the local through global
changes to their ecology. This information
equips Australian and international
students and researchers with a cuttingedge view of Australian systems, while
also identifying the deficiencies in capacity
and progress of Australian marine ecology.
