National Aquatic Ecosystem Assessment

The National Aquatic Ecosystem Assessment (NAEA) is a comprehensive study that evaluates the health and condition of a country’s lakes, rivers, wetlands, and other water environments. It gathers data on water quality, biodiversity, and human impacts to understand how these ecosystems are performing and changing over time. The goal is to inform policymakers, conservation efforts, and resource management by providing a clear picture of aquatic ecosystem health, identifying areas needing protection or restoration, and guiding sustainable use of water resources.
