Ecosystem-Based Management

Ecosystem-based management (EBM) offers an integrated approach aimed at safeguarding the ecosystem while promoting the sustainable and equitable use of ecosystem services.

Designed for policymakers, environmental managers, businesses, researchers, and local communities, it helps balance environmental protection, economic development, and social well-being. The solution presents a step-by-step process for empowering local authorities and enabling local capacity building for community driven ecosystem-based management.

EBM supports decision-making by addressing cumulative impacts, trade-offs, and long-term ecosystem resilience across sectors and scales. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders and integrating scientific and local knowledge, it enables more effective, adaptive, and sustainable management of coastal and marine environments.
