Marine Ecosystem-Based Management

Marine Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) is an approach to managing ocean resources that considers the entire ecosystem, including plants, animals, and human activities. Rather than focusing solely on individual species or industries, EBM looks at how all components interact and impact one another. This method aims to maintain healthy ecosystems, ensuring that marine life can thrive while supporting the livelihoods and needs of communities. By taking a holistic view, EBM promotes sustainable use of ocean resources, helping to balance environmental health with economic and social goals.
