The Scheldt Estuary: An Example of Sustainable Estuarine Management deals with all different aspects of a single estuary, including the biophysical aspects of the system and its socioeconomic aspects. It provides a description of how the management of the system developed over time and gives a blueprint of the approach to be followed for integrated and holistic management, along with a look to the future for this estuary and others. A detailed case study and decision trees to aid the reader in carrying out the same techniques in their own field work and restoration efforts are also included.
Users will find a comprehensive tome on the Scheldt estuary, its history, its uses and its problems through process-based integrated restoration and management. The concepts and ideas described can be an inspiration for managing other estuaries and coasts.
