A dynamic environment refers to an environment where the physical and biological elements are in a state of constant change. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) is an integrated, science-based approach to the management of natural resources with an objective to sustain the health, resilience and diversity of ecosystems while allowing for sustainable use of the goods and services provided by it. One of the areas where ecosystem-based management finds prominent use are marine and coastal environments. The application of EBM to marine and coastal ecosystems seeks to develop decision support tools for evaluating the risks related to potential management actions and facilitates strategic decision making. This book outlines the applications of ecosystem-based management in dynamic environments. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers updated with the global concepts in this area of study. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information on this topic as well as for experts.

Ecosystem-based management (EBM) refers to an integrated and science-based approach which emphasizes on the management of natural resources. It focuses on maintaining the resilience, health and diversity of ecosystems that enables humans to utilize the products and services they offer in a sustainable manner. EBM is an adaptive method to manage human activities that seeks to ensure the coexistence of healthy, fully functioning ecosystems and human societies. It can be used to study both terrestrial and marine ecosystems along with the challenges they pose. Marine EBM aims to manage marine resources in a way that safeguards ecosystem health in order to provide the ecosystem services required by people. This book aims to shed light on the applications of ecosystem-based management. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
