Furthermore, it also looks at the management and conservation of marine life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-03-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319154787\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-15479-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 68\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541748412556,"sku":"9783319154787","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319154787.jpg?v=1775774111","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319154787","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
