Published by Michigan State University Press from 2021.

Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management is the official journal of the Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society (AEHMS), published quarterly since 1998. It is a peer-reviewed primary journal devoted to the promotion of ecosystem-based science, approaches, health, management, and restoration of marine and freshwaters of the world.

Objectives
• to focus on the ecosystem structure, function, performance, management and restoration from an integrated, multi-disciplinary, multi-trophic and sustainable perspective
• to encourage the development and application of holistic initiatives and novel concepts, methods, models and technologies
• to elucidate the impact of multiple anthropogenic stressors (climate change, invasive species, HABs)
• to enhance our knowledge about the ecology and integrity of the Great Lakes of the world and large ecosystems
• to provide a scientific forum for scientists, students and managers to reflect on the state of science and exchange ideas that address ecosystem-based science
• to promote investigations and management practices designed to protect, restore, remediate, and conserve the integrity of aquatic ecosystems
• to foster global and cross-sectorial communications of ecosystem management amongst scientists, managers, students, citizens, business, socio-economists, municipal agencies and politicians

Scope
The journal publishes articles on the following themes and topics:
• Original articles focusing on ecosystem-based sciences, ecosystem health and management of marine and aquatic ecosystems
• Reviews, invited perspectives and keynote contributions from conferences
• Special issues on important emerging topics, themes, and ecosystems (climate change, invasive species, HABs, risk assessment, models)

Themes and topics
• Holistic and integrated ecosystem-based approaches including physical, chemical, biological, eco-toxicological assessments from a sustainable perspective
• Health, integrity, structure and performance of food webs
• Microbial plankton, phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos, fish and fisheries
