In this context, I might add, that for members of the list who work on oceans issues on a regular basis, the Atlas will send you a monthly update via email, quite helpful. wil
Dear Lyuba, This isn't a "one stop" source, but I'd highly recommend assigning some things from the UN Atlas of the Ocean, probably the most comprehensive, and contemporaneous, source for ocean information: http://www.oceansatlas.org/index.jsp. I'd also recommend the work of Boris Worm and Daniel Pauley on the state of fisheries; they've both published important reports in Nature and Science in the past few years in this context. wil Dr. Wil Burns Senior Fellow, International Environmental Law Santa Clara University School of Law 500 El Camino Real, Loyola 101 Santa Clara, CA 95053 USA Phone: 408.551.3000 x6139 Mobile: 650.281.9126 Fax: 408.554.2745 [EMAIL PROTECTED] SSRN Author Page: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=240348 International Environmental Law Blog: http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/intlenvironment/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 5:32 PM To: gep-ed@listserve1.allegheny.edu Subject: State of the world's oceans Dear GEP-ers, I wonder if anyone can recommend a good, recent overview of the state of the world's oceans. This is for a policy-oriented, graduate level GEP class as part of a section on the "State of the World's Environment" and as lead-on to different approaches to global problem-solving. Many thanks.
