The demand for advanced management methods and tools for marine
ecosystems is increasing worldwide. Today, many marine ecosystems
are significantly affected by disastrous pollution from industrial,
agricultural, municipal, transportational, and other anthropogenic
sources. The issues of environmental integrity are especially acute
in the Mediterranean and Red Sea basins, the cradle of modern
civilization. The drying of the Dead Sea is one of the most vivid
examples of environmental disintegration with severe negative
consequences on the ecology, industry, and wildlife in the area.
Strategic management and coordination of international remedial and
restoration efforts is required to improve environmental conditions
of marine ecosystems in the Middle East as well as in other areas.
The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) held in Nice in October
2003 was designed to: (1) provide a discussion forum for the latest
developments in the field of environmentally-conscious strategic
management of marine environments, and (2) integrate expertise of
ecologists, biologists, economists, and managers from European,
American, Canadian, Russian, and Israeli organizations in
developing a framework for strategic management of marine
ecosystems. The ASI addressed the following issues: Key
environmental management problems in exploited marine ecosystems;
Measuring and monitoring of municipal, industrial, and agricultural
effluents; Global contamination of seawaters and required remedial
efforts; Supply Chain Management approach for strategic coastal
zones management and planning; Development of environmentally
friendly technologies for coastal zone development; Modeling for
sustainable aquaculture; and Social, political, and economic
challenges in marine ecosystem management.
