The demand for new sophisticated methods for ensuring sustainable development of exploited ecosystems is increasing worldwide. Today, the natural resources, including water, air, soil, flora and fauna, etc., are significantly affected by disastrous pollution from industrial, agricultural, municipal, and other anthropogenic sources. Without careful global management and coordination of international anti-pollution, efforts, the world's oceans are threatened with catastrophic changes; under an unprecedented high rate of natural resource degradation due to pollution and overexploitation, the whole marine ecosystems may lose its integrity and collapse. These worrying situations call for efficient approaches that may help biologists detect, analyze, assess and solve the problems that occur in ecosystems in general and marine ecosystems in particular. Solving these problems involves activities that should be implemented and managed. We consider this aspect in this paper.
