The Ecosystem Approach (EA)The Ecosy

stem Approach (EA)

An integrated resource planning and management

approach that recognizes the connection betweenland, air and water and all living things, including

people, their activities and institutions.

Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) has beendefined as an innovative management approach toaddress the challenges associated with the

emergence of the Ecosystem Approach concept

(1)developing an ecosystem-basedvision and plan;(2)incorporating ecosystem science and information into management

decisions;(3)creating accountability andadaptive managementfor executing

ecosystem plans;(4)addressing cumulative ecosystem impacts within and across

management sectors; and

(5)making tradeoffs among competing and/or conflicting ocean uses.

Although many tools can be incorporated into the Ecosystem-Based Management System (EBMS), a group of them are basictools to support the system. These include a decision makingtool (DEMA tool) based on risk analysis, with a conflictresolution tool inside (CORE tool), a information factory tool(GIS-Seas tool), and a capacity building tool (ESCA tool).

DEMA will be active during all the cycles inthe use of the managerial framework,

however at the very beginning two aspectsneed to be specifically considered; the risk

of an internal managerial failure due to anon working EGS, and the ellaboration of amarine spatial planning for the SES under

ConclusionsConclusions

It introduces the Ecosystem approach intopractice;

The EBMS is intended to be an standardtool for the management of the marineenvironment

It standardised a common set of tools,introducing a common language for scaling

problems; and

It constitute an easy way for knowlkedgetransfer and adpative management.
