    —Reference Reviews     July 2005
  • Attorneys, economists, resources managers, and coastal planners now have a source to turn to when they need something explained, be it a scientific term, legal concept, case, or international convention....With hundreds of entries on maritime terminology, U.S. statutes, international bodies, and non-governmental organizations such as the Mangrove Action Project and the National Maritime Council, the Marine Affairs Dictionary is destined to become an invaluable reference guide for marine affairs professionals and students. It should never, however, be far out of the reach of anyone working on marine issues.
    —The SandBar     April 2005
