Dear Colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce that a new chapter titled: Marine Environment and Public Health is available. 
The chapter has been published by InTech, inside the book Biodiversity Conservation and Utilization in a Diverse World (DOI: 10.5772/3330). 

We present some results of bacteriological surveys  (Aeromonadaceae and Vibrionacea species) that have been carried out with many specimens of marine mammals, seabirds and sea turtles from Brazilian coast.

Brief introduction: 
This book "Biodiversity Conservation and Utilization in a Diverse World" sees 
biodiversity as management and utilization of resources in satisfying human 
needs in multi-sectional areas including agriculture, forestry, fisheries, 
wildlife and other exhaustible and inexhaustible resources. Its value is to 
fulfill actual human preferences and variability of life is measured by amount 
of genetic variation available. In viewing diversity as an ultimate moral 
value, one is faced with a situation in environmental preservation in order to 
allow components of total diversity to flourish and constitute a threat to 
continuous existence and decrease total diversity. The overall importance 
described economic benefits from bio-diversity, though difficult to measure 
and varying, but are limited on a local scale, increase on a regional or 
national scale and become potentially substantial on a transnational or global 
scale. 

Best regards to all, 

Salvatore
