Restoration of Coastal Marine Ecosystems
Human health and wellbeing cannot be sustained without proper ecosystem functioning and high biodiversity is essential to maintain such functioning. Worldwide, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources by a growing human population has imposed serious pressures on ecosystem integrity. To change the tide, the United Nations declared the current decade as the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, with the aim of “supporting and scaling up efforts to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide”. Large-scale active ecosystem restoration actions will be needed to achieve these ambitious aims. Whereas methodologies for systemic restoration of terrestrial ecosystems ha...
Greening Europe
Today, the environment seems omnipresent in European policy within and beyond the European Union. The idea of a shared European environment, however, has come a long way and is still being contested. Greening Europe focuses on the many ways people have interacted with nature and made it an issue of European concern. The authors ask how notions of Europe mattered in these activities and they expose the many entanglements of activists across the subcontinent who set out to connect and network, and to exchange knowledge, worldviews, and strategies that exceeded their national horizons. Moving beyond human agency, the handbook also highlights the eminent role nature played in both "greening" Europe and making Europe a shared environment.
Eating to Extinction
'A book of wonders' Bee Wilson, Sunday Times Books of the Year Winner of the Wainwright Prize 2022 - Eating to Extinction is an astonishing journey through the past, present and future of food, showing why reclaiming a diverse food culture is vital. 'Saladino inspires us to believe that turning the tide is still possible' Yotam Ottolenghi From a tiny crimson pear in the west of England to an exploding corn in Mexico, there are thousands of foods that are at risk of being lost for ever. Dan Saladino spans the globe to uncover their stories, meeting the pioneering farmers, scientists, cooks, food producers and indigenous communities who are defending food traditions and fighting for change. Eating to Extinction is about so much more than preserving the past.

NORDSEE UND KLIMAWANDEL
Der derzeitige Code-Red-Klimawandel wird die weltweiten Meeresspiegel stetig ansteigen lassen. Davon werden ganz besonders auch die vielfältigen Nordseeküsten samt Hinterland betroffen sein. Es muss somit seitens der betroffenen Anrainerstaaten ein unentwegtes Brainstorming stattfinden bezüglich künftiger „Überlebenschancen“ - manchmal auch mit erstaunlichen, natürlichen Resultaten. Wie beispielsweise stetig nachwachsende Austernriffe als Wellenbrecher vor der seeländischen Küste aber auch eine zweite Nordsee-Küstenlinie mittels künstlicher Inseln: "Luctor et Emergo".....! Hierzu gibt es von Autor Jacob Winter jetzt das professionell recherchierte eBook NORDSEE UND KLIMAWANDEL ...
GEO kompakt 66/2021 - Die Wunder der Meere
Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser, es sind schon mehr Menschen zum Mond aufgebrochen, als zu den tiefsten Stellen der Erde – etwa 11 000 Meter unter der Wasserlinie. Das zeigt, wie unerschlossen die Ozeane zum Teil noch sind, wie wenig wir über dieses unermessliche Reich jenseits der Küsten wissen. Von jeder neuen Expedition kehren Forscher mit spektakulären Entdeckungen zurück, finden etwa Korallengärten vor der Westküste Grönlands, begegnen leuchtenden Haien, filmen unbekannte Gallertwesen, die geisterhaft über den Tiefseegrund schweben. Die Formenvielfalt der marinen Tierwelt ist beinahe grenzenlos. Fast scheint es, als hätte die Evolution sich in den Meeren von allen Fesseln gelöst...
사라져 가는 음식들
대체할 수 없는 특별한 음식의 경이로운 이야기 음식들은 왜 사라져 가는가? BBC 기자이자 음식 저널리스트인 저자가 들려주는 사라져 가는 전통 음식과 동식물에 대한 특별한 이야기. 이 책은 우리가 잊었거나 존재조차 몰랐던 자연의 동식물을 재배하고, 채집하고, 사냥하고, 요리하고, 소비하는 사람들의 매혹적인 이야기를 들려준다. 저자는 역사, 정치, 문화, 공동체, 풍미 등 그 음식이 유래한 지역에 대한 특별한 이야기를 들려주는 동시에 전 세계 각지에서 수천 년에 걸쳐 만들어진 음식들이 사라지는 비극을 증언한다. 대량생산과 효율성만을 위해 개량된 극소수의 종에 기대고 있는 오늘날의 위태로운 식량 시스템에 대해 묵직한 경고의 메시지를 던진다. 하나의 음식을 잃는다는 것은 우리와 세계를 연결해주는 고리를 잃어버리는 것이다.
Aquaculture Perspective of Multi-Use Sites in the Open Ocean
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This volume addresses the potential for combining large-scale marine aquaculture of macroalgae, molluscs, crustaceans, and finfish, with offshore structures, primarily those associated with energy production, such as wind turbines and oil-drilling platforms. The volume offers a comprehensive overview and includes chapters on policy, science, engineering, and economic aspects to make this concept a reality. The compilation of chapters authored by internationally recognized researchers across the globe addresses the theoretical and practical aspects of multi-use, and presents case studies of research, development, and demonstration-scale installations in the US and EU.
Heimische Exoten
Sie tauchen in Parks und in den Städten auf, bevölkern mehr oder weniger plötzlich Teiche und Wälder – Tiere, die aus Zufall, Nachlässigkeit oder mit guten Absichten in unseren Breiten in die freie Wildbahn gelangen und heimisch werden, eingewandert oder ausgesetzt. Rund 1000 Spezies bereichern oder beeinträchtigen nach Expertenmeinung mittlerweile unsere mitteleuropäische Flora und Fauna. Mareike Milde hat sich nach 22 von ihnen auf die Suche begeben, hat ihre neuen Habitate besucht und sich von Experten vor Ort alles Wissenswerte zeigen und erzählen lassen. Ihre in jahrelanger Recherche entstandenen, äußerst lesenswerten Reportagen sind eine ebenso spannende wie anschauliche Erkundungsreise auf der Fährte von Waschbär, Sittich, Nilgans & Co. und ein Plädoyer für einen gelassenen und zugewandten Umgang mit ihnen.
