...The editor and authors are to be congratulated for their achievement in compiling these volumes which offer a wealth of well-sourced
information and ideas as a basis for further debate concerning regional comparisons and spread of best practice in coastal zone management.
The books should be an invaluable worldwide reference source for higher education establishments and research organizations
concerned with marine environmental science, fisheries, oceanography and engineering, for industrialists concerned with coastal zone
development, and for marine policy makers worldwide. They should also be a required source of information for all national and international
aid agencies, and should be of high priority in book presentations provided as part of aid programmes to developing nations.

...This impressive work provides a comprehensive review of the many environmental issues that should be taken into account, at global
and regional levels, for a successful and sustainable use of our seas in the decades to come.
The editorial aspects have been carefully
handled. Comprehensive maps for each region, updated statistics and references (until the year 2000) and a very extensive subject index
(about 100 pages) are provided. This is, in summary, an invaluable source of information for academics both as a reference and teaching
tool, and for all researchers and policy makers with an interest in marine environmental sciences, oceanography and marine engineering.
Aquacult. Plan Houtman Abr. Isl.
...Comprising three massive volumes and over 100 chapters this publication provides almost an encyclopaedia of the seas of the world.
It provides a kind of balance sheet of the world's aquatic assets as at the turn of the millennium.
For anyone researching the seas,
for any purpose, this provides a very good place to start.
...there is no doubt the three books will quickly become a classic of
their time. They will provide researchers with enormous amounts of valuable information for many years to come.
Marine Turtle Newsletter No. 93
...this is an excellent reference resource; one worth lobbying budget holders and senior librarians to consider taking.
Work Boat World
...will need to be included in any serious marine libraries anywhere in the world.
Marine Ecology, M. Stachowitsch
...I can only hope that this series will find its place in every reference library and on the desks of those scientists and managers whose input will help decide the fate of our seas.
Asia Pacific Shipping
... there is no doubt the series of three books will quickly become a classic of their time. They will provide researchers with enormous
amounts of valuable information for many years to come. ... an invaluable reference which will need to be included in any serious marine
libraries anywhere in the world.
Australian Marine Sciences Association Bulletin, G. Jones
...an invaluable source of information for academics both as a reference and teaching tool, and for all researchers and policy makers
with an interest in marine environmental sciences, oceanography and marine engineering
Northeastern Naturalist, 2005
This series represents a monumental undertaking and is an invaluable source of information as a reference and teaching tool.
