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
management

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.
