Publisher's Synopsis
The destruction of marine habitats and the marine environment generally results from the ￢ﾀﾎcumulative impact of several threats, such as fishing (bycatch, illegal and ghost fishing), pollution in ￢ﾀﾎall its forms (chemical, organic and physical), and climate change. All these threats have contributed ￢ﾀﾎto the degradation of the seabed and marine biodiversity. Endangered vertebrates are ￢ﾀﾎthe most affected by these problems. ￢ﾀﾎ This book presents scientific information on the biology and ecology of sea turtles, sharks, and ￢ﾀﾎcetaceans, as well as fisheries' impact on these endangered species to enhance conservation and ￢ﾀﾎmanagement efforts. ￢ﾀﾎ
