A tangle of snaking roots and twisted trunks, mangroves are often dismissed as foul wastelands. In fact, they are supermarkets of the sea, providing shellfish, crabs, honey, timber, and charcoal to coastal communities from Florida to South America to New Zealand. Generations have built their lives around mangroves and consider these swamps sacred..To shrimp farmers and land developers, mangroves simply represent a good investment. The tidal land on which they stand often has no title, so with a nod and wink from a compliant official, it can be turned from a public resource to a private possession. The forests are bulldozed, their traditional users dispossessed..The true price of shrimp farming and other coastal development has gone largely unheralded in the U.S. media. A longtime journalist, Warne now captures the insatiability of these industries and the magic of the mangroves. His vivid account will make every reader pause before ordering the shrimp.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2011Latest edition | | 關鍵詞 | Aquaculture; Coastal development; Mangroves; Shrimp farming; Wetlands; marine and freshwater sciences; For | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-024-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61091-024-8 | | copyright | Kennedy Warner 2011 |
