Atmosphere and Ocean: An Introduction to Marine Science
Atmosphere and Ocean take millions of years to form, but a cloud can develop into a raging thunderstorm in a matter of hours. This reader-friendly and competent book can provide readers the essentials of the Atmosphere and Ocean in a short period of time through a simple approach. It is a rare 2-in-1 version of marine science book for students. The authors have managed to bridge the gap between several descriptive textbooks and some highly technical volumes to convey the fascinating features of the two oceans, one above and one below.
Coastal Environmental Profile : Sulu Sea, Sabah, Malaysia
Coastal Environmental Profile of Sulu Sea is providing baseline information from various fields of marine science particularly marine flora and fauna within the islands and coastal areas of the Sulu Sea. This book can be used as a reference to support the development and management of Tun Mustapha Park. The authors of each chapter of this book have presented significant insights into the status of marine bio-resources and threats to marine resources. This book is also especially targeted to support the scientific database of Coral Triangle Imitative (CTI) and contribute to achieving the target stipulated in Malaysia’s National Plan of Action for CTI.
Fisheries and Aquacultures Development in Sabah
Fisheries and Aquaculture Development in Sabah: implications for Society, Culture and Ecology builds on a trend in studies of social change of taking the environment seriously. Coming from the disciplines of sociology, economics and marine science the authors deal with issues of sustainability in economic, social and ecological terms. The overall political ecology approach of the book diversifies into sub-themes as the chapters engage with frameworks on the ecological limits of economic development, entitlements and well-being, participatory development, gender and knowledge production, science and citizenship as well as the symbolic and material value of national and international borders. ...
Discourses, Agency and Identity in Malaysia
This book seeks to break new ground, both empirically and conceptually, in examining discourses of identity formation and the agency of critical social practices in Malaysia. Taking an inclusive cultural studies perspective, it questions the ideological narrative of ‘race’ and ‘ethnicity’ that dominates explanations of conflicts and cleavages in the Malaysian context. The contributions are organised in three broad themes. ‘Identities in Contestation: Borders, Complexities and Hybridities’ takes a range of empirical studies—literary translation, religion, gender, ethnicity, indigeneity and sexual orientation—to break down preconceived notions of fixed identities. This then ope...
The Marine Ecosystems of Sabah
This book successfully bridges the gap between academic text to an informal study of the significance of life in the oceans around us, providing an ideal introduction to the subject for conservationists, hobbyist, policymakers and students. The book sheds light on the pressing issues and focuses on the areas of research that Sabah is experiencing today, as marine scientists from the Borneo Marine Research Institute continue to advance in understanding the marine environment of Sabah in line with the priorities of the state and the country. Explore a wide range of topics from single-cell algae to large marine vertebrates, from hydrodynamics and water quality to effects of marine plastic pollution, from the biological to the physical and chemical aspects of the marine environment in Sabah. After going through each chapter, it gives the saying “Sabah is blessed with natural wonders” a deeper reflection of what the ocean means to the environment and people of the state.
The Ecological Paradigm in Seafood Security
The importance of seafood in global food security and economy cannot be overemphasized. Capture fisheries and aquaculture supply about 154 million tons of fish annually, with a total value of US$217.5 billion. Aquaculture’s contribution to this production and value is 90.4 million tons and US$144.4 billion, respectively. Billions of people depend to varying degrees on seafood for dietary protein. Development of these two sectors has not happened without environmental problems and, therefore, adaptive management is required to ensure sustainability. A major conservation intervention and measures for mitigating the effects of climate change are needed for sustaining the ability of marine eco...
