Summary

Over ten years later, awareness of marine conservation has grown considerably, and many coastal managers are now concerned enough to want to include marine conservation in their work. Furthermore, they want to help raise awareness about the need to protect and manage the marine environment through interpretation and education initiatives. However, there is still a need for clear, accessible information and practical advice on how coastal managers and practitioners can best present the coastal and marine environment to the visiting public, schools groups and other interest and user groups. This handbook aims to fulfill that necessity.

This manual provides the necessary information to answer all the typical questions asked by field staff when developing coastal and marine interpretation. The question-based format, together with checksheets for guidance and sources of information, aims to provide practical help to site managers, wardens, rangers and the increasing number of environmental educators working on the coast.
