      abstract = {This book provides a complete and current overview of the  correlation between ocean conditions and human health,  publishing comprehensively for the first time on the direct  interactions among oceanography, marine biology and impacts  on human health. Specifically the text addresses how  changing ocean conditions result in health impacts and  disruptions, with a focus on cases in the USA. ­ The  changing ocean conditions that are discussed include  diminishing marine biodiversity, climactic changes such as  intensified weather events, shifting sea currents and  increasing sea temperature. The book addresses the  resulting health issues brought about by these various  ocean conditions, such as emerging infectious diseases,  starvation and poisoning among impacted communities, toxic  algae blooms, threatened ecosystems, and other future  implications. ­ The text was developed in conjunction with  scientists from Brown University, the University of Rhode  Island, the University of Texas at Austin, the University  of California at Riverside and Ochsner Health, all located  in areas deeply impacted by the changing Oceans. ­ The  book will be of interest to marine research scientists,  health care professionals, students, and general  enthusiasts of oceanography and health.},
