Effects of Riverine Inputs on Coastal Ecosystems and Fisheries Resources

A number of aspects of riverine and runoff effects on coastal marine systems are considered in this publication.

Its purpose is to advance the scientific, policy and political dialogue issues related to the utilization and protection of these ecosystems.

Examples are presented in which the apparent effects of runoff-related nutrient enrichment and consequent eutrophication have been important.

Other aspects such as sedimentation are also explored.
