Marine Geography: Ocean Space and Sense of Place offers an innovative and comprehensive exploration of ocean spaces through the lens of geographic thought, establishing marine geography as a unique subdiscipline. It addresses the historical neglect of oceans in geography, providing core theories and approaches that can be applied to address geographic issues unique to this space, such as fisheries, blue economies, coastal development and management, mobilities and shipping, and maritime governance. Expanding traditional geographic concepts and incorporating the more-than-human elements inherent to this space, this work tweaks ways that geographic analysis can be applied to ocean systems in meaningful ways. This book explores mapping techniques and lays out the physical dynamics and scientific models that provide the contextual realities with which we engage these complex environments and explores how our land-based perspectives shape our interactions with the marine world. It assembles the innovative theoretical geographical frameworks being applied to address ocean spaces and provides the building blocks for establishing an ocean point of view. Filled with practical examples and foundational theories, this book serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in bridging the gap between marine science and geography.
