Examples Level Principle Function The general rules that underpin an Ecosystem Approach Example 2 An evidence-based system should be used to integrate social, environmental and economic interests Objectives Linking principles to regional ecosystem management needs Management system includes social, economic and environmental objectives that are agreed across sectors Regional Actions The multi-sector actions that are necessary to deliver the objectives Procedures in place for all stakeholders to be involved Baseline data is acquired for all activities Local and indigenous knowledge integrated Role of ecosystem valuation? Need to prioritise between 3 pillars?

Management system has appropriate longterm view, risk assessment and is effectively reviewed and adapted. Regional Actions The multi-sector actions that are necessary to deliver the objectives Long-term monitoring of environment Research into impacts of changing conditions Management measures reviewed every x years Feedback loop links science to management Role of protected areas?
