'Coral Reef Conservation provides an up to date review of the progress made in this field with contributions by leading scientists and specialists. … The author is to be congratulated for bringing to our attention the very important contributions made by individuals working within the confines of a huge and important continent … I would strongly recommend this book to 'all' biologists to rectify any imbalance that may have occurred in their scientific education to date. … this new volume on coral reef conservation is a highly useful reference for students, researchers and advocates of conservation. The editors have managed to include a wide array of subjects and authors with good reviews of relevant research and many suggestions for further work.' Biologist
