Since the 1970's the management of aquatic habitats has changed from piecemeal monitoring to the ecosystem approach; this was initiated in the North American Great Lakes, comprising social, economic, and environmental aspects. The information included in this paper is based on the presentation made at the 'Seminar On Ecosystem Approach To Water Management' held in Oslo, Norway during 1991. Recently, the multidisciplinary, holistic, and integrated concept of ecosystem health has emerged, and is being advanced for the implementation of an ecosystem approach to environmental management, which has resulted in the formation of an international society (Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management Society) and the publication of a primary journal (Journal of Aquatic Ecosystem Health). The information has been updated to incorporate new developments and recent progress about the Society and the journal since the Oslo Seminar. * Exchange of scientific information and amalgamation of multi-disciplinary expertise, including public, municipal, private, and industrial sectors. * International scientific cooperation on global projects and technological transfer. * Consideration of sustainable development, global environmental change, and environmental law. * International workshops, symposia, and conferences. * International scientific journal on aquatic ecosystem health and management, and special publications as needed. * Public information programs concerning environmental protection with emphasis on environmental education for children and youth.
