These stresses have been so profound that they have challenged and broadened the thinking of fishery experts. Successful fish management of the Great Lakes is now actively focused on the lakes as ecosystems.

Fishery management decisions must consider the potential effects on the whole system rather than only the effects within jurisdictional boundaries.
