Abstract
Better practices for managing inland aquatic ecosystems in protected areasincluding rivers, other brackish and freshwater ecosystems, and coastal estuariesare the focus of this chapter. Most natural protected areas are designated as terrestrial or marine, and the obvious question for most managers is why should I worry about the (usually) small portion of my protected area that involves freshwater habitat. In this chapter, we argue that freshwater and estuarine habitats are significant for conserving biodiversity in most land-based protected areas and that managers need to apply the freshwater-specific conservation tools outlined here to do a good job.
