PA13F:
Communicating Freshwater Health Through a Social–Ecological Lens: Models, Indicators, Apps, and Engagement Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 45527

Session Description:
Freshwater is a local and cross-sectoral issue shaped by the hydrologic system and aquatic ecosystems, influenced by societal forces and governance.  Both the direct and indirect services, such as water availability, fisheries and other biomass, hazard mitigation, water quality, disease and sediment regulation, and recreation as well as cultural value, are derived from it. Ensuring resilient development around freshwater social-ecological systems requires avoiding fragmentation of the information relevant to these complex systems while developing effective models, indicators and methods to engage a wide-variety of actors in this space of decision making. We welcome studies that attempt to combine perspectives from freshwater ecology, water resource management and governance with special emphasis on lessons learnt while engaging stakeholders and integrative cross-sectoral work.
