But declines on the BC coast have accelerated over the last century, with marine wildlife cut in half in just four decades. Protecting the Coast and Ocean explores how we can reverse such precipitous declines. This meticulous work catalogues not only the laws and designations that governments in Canada can draw on - marine protected areas, Indigenous protected and conserved areas, land-use measures, and zoning bylaws - but also the international treaties and designations that shape marine conservation and support collaboration. The authors analyze the scope and applicability of each legal tool, rating its strengths and weaknesses, and assess factors such as ease of implementation and adaptive management capabilities. In-depth case studies illustrate how these instruments have been used in practice. Although the compound impacts of climate change, overfishing, and pollution seem overwhelming, Protecting the Coast and Ocean convincingly demonstrates that Indigenous, federal, provincial, and local governments have the legal tools to protect coastal and marine ecosystems, reverse species extinction, and plan for a resilient ocean. This comparative analysis of legal tools for coastal and ocean protection will be invaluable to a wide audience: non-government organizations; Indigenous governments and organizations; federal, provincial, and local government staff and politicians; and academics working in the field."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Fishery law and legislation $z British Columbia. 650 0 $a Marine resources conservation $x Law and legislation $z British Columbia. 650 7 $a NATURE / Environmental Conservation & Protection. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Fishery law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00926220 650 7 $a Marine resources conservation $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009916 651 7 $a British Columbia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205265 700 1 $a Nowlan, Linda, $e author. 700 1 $a Lloyd-Smith, Georgia, $e author. 700 1 $a Carlson, Deborah, $e author. 700 1 $a Bissonnette, Michael, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hewson, Stephanie. $t Protecting the coast and ocean. $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2023 $z 9780774865517 $z 9780774865517 $w (OCoLC)1362895651 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011755.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=551E00942E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
