Issues in Ecology: Sustaining Healthy Freshwater Ecosystems

The Ecological Society of America (ESA), the nation’s leading professional society of ecological scientists, is an essential source of information for those addressing the many complex tasks associated with watershed management. An ESA occasional publication series, Issues in Ecology, is an especially useful resource for citizens, resource managers, policymakers, and others designing and implementing watershed approaches to environmental management. Each Issues in Ecology paper is designed to report, in language understandable by non-scientists, the consensus of a panel of scientific experts on issues relevant to the environment.
