Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Seagrass Conservation: Global Status and Methods for Monitoring and Restoration brings together regional perspectives on seagrass biology, monitoring, and conservation to highlight the ecological importance and vulnerability of this critical taxon. The book covers the growing threats of global climate change, coastal water quality degradation, and ocean acidification before delving into recent advancements in non-invasive methods for monitoring and conservation. Written by globally recognized experts in seagrass biology and conservation, it provides a much-needed update on the global status of seagrass species, monitoring methods, ecosystem services, and solutions to improve success rates surrounding seagrass restoration.
Thematically structured sections explore regional seagrass coverage, non-invasive methods to analyze spatial and temporal decline of meadows, function and resilience of seagrass ecosystems, and methods for successful meadow restoration. This new work emphasizes the potential for seagrass recovery and offers a functional view of the current and future state of seagrass habitats in an indispensable reference book for academic researchers, industry scientists, conservationists, policymakers, and students alike.
