Summarizes proceedings of a workshop that brought together ecosystem scientists and specialists in environmental prediction to discuss how to make better use of environmental prediction techniques in ecosystem science. Presentations were made on the following topics: ecosystems and assessments; data, models, and methods; real-time predictions; coastal zone modelling; and adaptive environmental management. Panel and workshop discussions covered: which characteristics of Atlantic region ecosystems to predict, and why; proposals for ecosystem projects in the Atlantic region that would make use of environmental prediction techniques; and recommendations on the next steps for better integration of environmental prediction techniques into ecosystem science. Abstracts of presentations are included in the appendix.

Presents proceedings of a workshop held to consider opportunities & challenges for protecting, restoring, and enhancing coastal habitats, with a focus on the Bay of Fundy. Presentations are organized under the following topic headings: nutrification of coastal waters; environmental issues & constraints in tidal power development; ecologically & community valued marine areas in the Bay of Fundy; scientific methods in Bay of Fundy investigations; communities, contaminants, & habitats in the Bay; and salt marshes & reserves in the Bay and Nova Scotia.
Today, efforts are being made to rehabilitate badly degraded ecosystems and protect areas which have important ecological value, such as national parks, critical fish and wildlife habitats, natural communities and endangered species. Since human values are an integral part of the decisions to protect or rehabilitate-the goals and objectives for such actions are often unclear. Concepts of "health," "integrity" and "diversity" express important values associated with management actions but they do not provide clear guidelines for these actions. The criteria developed and applied in this book provide guidelines and serve as a road map to anyone involved in ecosystem management-scientists, land managers and policy makers.
