      abstract = {As the nations of the Caribbean respond to the emerging  effects of climate change and prepare for those to come,  tourism has the potential to either worsen or mitigate  these impacts. In the four volumes of this collection, we  look at the role of coastal and marine tourism in the  Caribbean and similar regions, considering the impacts of  the tourism sector on marine and coastal environments, and  on the human communities that depend on them. We also  explore the way the tourism industry is responding to  climate change, and how various sectors are adapting and  preparing for various types of impacts. Through essays and  case studies by scientists, business leaders, government  and NGO staff, and others, we show that tourism could lead  the way in reducing human-induced climate impacts,  protecting and restoring crucial ecosystems and habitats,  and building sustainable futures for the people of the  Caribbean and beyond. In this book, the last of four total  volumes on coastal tourism and marine tourism, we look  specifically at marine recreation and how its various  sectors--ranging from surfing, diving and sport fishing, to  yachting and cruise ships--are coping with and preparing  for climate change in the Caribbean. As with the other  three volumes, we focus on examples that show how industry  leaders are responding to climate change, using their power  and resources to foster positive change in the Caribbean  and other parts of the world.},
