Marine Wildlife and Tourism Management
Author: James E. S. Higham
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 1845933451
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
This book seeks to underscore the need for scientific approaches to first understanding and then managing tourist interactions with marine wildlife. It draws upon the work of leading natural and social scientists whose work serves the interests of sustainable wildlife-based marine tourism. Thus from within the natural science disciplines of marine biology, environmental science, behavioural ecology, conservation biology, and wildlife management come chapters that provide insights into the effects of human disturbance on marine wildlife, the impacts that tourists may have upon wild animals, and the management approaches to mitigating impacts that may in the long term be biologically significant. Equally from the social science disciplines of geography, sociology, management and social anthropology are drawn chapters that explore demand for marine wildlife experiences, the benefits that visitors derive from their experiences, ethical and legislative contexts, and management issues that arise when tourists interact with populations of wild animals in coastal and marine environments.

Song of the Sound
Author: Jeff Gulvin
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1480418404
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
From an author whose work “recalls the magical power of The Horse Whisperer”: A dolphin expert in New Zealand finds love—and danger (Scotland on Sunday). After years of freelance research on the sea life of Vimereax, France, and studying killer whales in Argentina, single mother Libby Bass and her daughter have now packed up for the coastal waters surrounding the Milford Sound in New Zealand. An expert in cetacean communication, Libby has a permanent new position with a dolphin-watch program, an opportunity she’s been waiting for. Even better, it’s in the heart of the Sound, home to the most mysterious and beautiful creatures on earth. When she meets John-Cody Gibbs, Libby believes she’s also found the perfect man. A former fisherman from New Orleans, the widower is looking for his own peace and purpose in New Zealand’s Lake Manapouri, “the lake of the sorrowing heart,” said to be made up of the tears of the dying and grieving. John-Cody’s understanding of wildlife is so profound as to be almost magical, but a dark secret from his past soon threatens everything within Libby’s reach—and everyone she loves. The follow up to Cry of the Panther, a novel in which “[Gulvin’s] passionate interest in animals and his charismatic lovers make for compulsive reading,”Song of the Sound powerfully explores romantic relationships and profound connections with the natural world (Scotland on Sunday).
