Critique on Ecological Methodologies Used in Water Quality Studies and Coastal Management: A Review

The subject of ecology is the understanding relations among living organisms and their interactions with abiotic environment. need to quantify ecological phenomena requires development mathematical tools, including indices, statistical procedures simulation models. Some these tools have been found be convenient by many scientists policy makers in related scientific disciplines express marine pollution levels, water quality future trends; they have, therefore, adopted coastal management methodologies practices. In present work, a number are reviewed regarding relevance supporting studies, as well suitability included toolkit Their problems weaknesses, together science–policy misconnection, discussed.
