Résumé :	Marine and freshwater systems are being placed under pressure like never before by a bigger, more demanding human population. The need for sustainable solutions to allow for the development and conservation of these systems has become an international priority. By exploring current exploitation practices and their consequences from an ecological perspective, this timely book guides you towards an understanding of the factors that limit the productivity of aquatic systems and influence their responses to exploitation pressure. From a consideration of the ecological effects of harvesting aquatic resources—both living and non-living—ecology of aquatic management continues to a discussion of the consequences for aquatic systems of transport, waste disposal, and recreational pursuits. Finally, effective management strategies for natural hazards, the provision of ecological goods and services, and the restoration of aquatic systems are considered. The role of science in providing an understanding of the effects of human interaction with aquatic systems is emphasized throughout, along with a consideration of the role of ecology in the sustainable management of the consequences of human activity.
