Abstract
Adaptive management is an appealing approach to deal with inherent uncertainty in complex and
interactive social-ecological systems (Holling 2001; Rogers 2003). In short, adaptive management
is about learning-by-doing in a scientific way, adapting behaviour and overall direction as new
information becomes available. It provides a structured way for improving our incomplete
understanding through an iterative process of setting objectives, implementing policy decisions
and evaluating the implications of their outcomes for future decision making.
