PAME publishes a Concept Paper on Ecosystem Approach (EA)

EA Concept Paper
PAME has published a Concept Paper on Ecosystem Approach to Management of the Arctic marine ecosystems. This Paper defines the EA approach and identifies the framework for implementation of the EA in the Arctic and emphasizes the following main elements that can be seen as steps in an iterative implementation cycle:     • Identify the ecosystem

     • Describe the ecosystem
     • Set ecological objectives
     • Assess the ecosystem
     • Value the ecosystem
     • Manage human activities

Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) represent the appropriate and primary units for applying the ecosystem approach to management of the marine environment recognizing that it accommodates management at other spatial scales. The LMEs offer a framework for doing this in a structured manner from both scientific and management perspectives. The overall state and integrity of the ecosystem is a reflection of the status of species and habitats and their interactions at all appropriate scales within the LME.
