Description

This edited volume provides a variety of insights into the�context in which ocean and wetlands policy is placed at the sub-continental�level.�The governments of Mexico, Canada, and United States of America have�recognized the importance of conserving, protecting, and enhancing the�environment in their territories. As a result, they have developed an�institutional structure aimed at furthering environmental cooperation.�However, marine environment has played a secondary role, characterized�by scientific cooperation that does not develop into regional policies. This project analyzes how ocean and wetlands preservation is omitted from the North�American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, meaning that�collaborative efforts under-perform or remain largely sidelined from mainstream issues.�As contributors come from a mix of the social and natural sciences (politics, international relations, law studies, sociology, oceanology, and oceanography), this book presents diverse viewpoints on how to address�wetlands protection, deep ocean research collaboration, and the marine context of the Sustainable Development Goals.Typham this is the title: Widening the Scope of Environmental Policies in North America Towards Blue Approaches
