Table Of ContentROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF SEASCAPES
Seascape studies have developed in response to questions arising from composite correlations
such as coastal, island and marine research, social requirements, landscape design and plan-
ning, marine ecology, and environment and resource management. This global volume is
the first comprehensive overview to provide a solid foundation on the concept of seascape,
with the latest research findings from leading experts across a variety of fields, offering a
holistic approach to seascape linking nature with culture, and theory with practice.
Divided into six parts, it includes over 30 chapters from contributors around the world.
Pioneering methods with illustrated case studies from the Mediterranean, Scandinavia,
North Sea, North America and Asia serve as examples for future seascape development,
conservation and governance.
An important and extremely timely resource, the Routledge Handbook of Seascapes provides
academics, practitioners, NGOs, consultants and government officials with a broad overview
of current research and practice for future application and advance worldwide.
Gloria Pungetti is the Founder and Director of the Centre for Biocultural Landscape and
Seascape, University of Sassari, Italy, and Coordinator of the Biocultural Landscape Work-
ing Group of IALE International. She is additionally Founder Professor of the Cambridge
Centre for Landscape and People and a Senior Member of Darwin College at the University
of Cambridge, UK, where she has developed holistic landscape and seascape research collab-
orating with scholars and institutions worldwide.
