In this edition, there are two chapters that address the science/policy background of the major environmental issues that affect the marine industry today: Greenhouse Gases and a Low Carbon Future, by Dr. Santiago Suárez de la Fuente, Dr. Domagoj Baresic and Prof. Tristan Smith, Energy Institute, University College London Biology of Marine Invasions and Biofouling, by Marcie Merksamer, Enviro Management Inc., Arroyo Grande, CA and John A. Lewis, ESLink Services, Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia.
The goal of these two chapters is to give marine engineers the background and foundation to better understand the issues and work effectively with other professionals who are involved in the development and response to the major environmental issues that will affect marine engineering in the years ahead. The authors of the GHG chapter have had lead roles in the key proposals placed before the IMO to establish the path forward. The latter chapter is the result of the cooperation of IMarEST in this new edition, which is greatly appreciated.
