Marine permaculture: Design principles for productive seascapes

Covering biophysical and cultural elements as well as incorporating fundamental differences between terrestrial and marine environments, as well as the differing effects of environmental degradation and its impacts on ecosystems, this groundbreaking paper helps to set the terms and tradeoffs for many of the future inquiries that may following in theory and practice.
