De Santo, E.M. (2024) Securitizing Marine Protected Areas: Geopolitics, Environmental Justice, and Science. Under contract with Routledge, Earthscan Oceans series (link to publisher website, 20% off with code AFLY02).
The book argues that Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are not only a critical tool for protecting marine biodiversity in a changing climate, but they also play an important role at the intersection of geopolitics and environmental justice, and they provide a case study of environmental governance at the science-policy interface. The book takes an interdisciplinary and critical approach and builds on the author's two decades working in this field. By applying the three lenses of geopolitics, environmental justice and science, this book provides key insights to help the international community moving past 2030 and beyond, towards a future of meaningful, equitable, and effective conservation approaches. |
