The ecosystem approach to management has been described as a ‘strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way’ (UN Convention on Biological Diversity – CBD).

Integrated management of natural systems, including humans, is a concept known by many different names
such as integrated ocean management, ecosystem-based management (EBM), or most simply, the ecosystem approach to management (EA). EBM and EA are synonymous within the Arctic Council. Internationally the term EA is widely used, for example in global UN Biodiversity Convention (CBD).
