This report identifies five problem areas where social science research can improve the authors` understanding of how ecosystem management can best be implemented. These include (1) the extent to which existing laws, policies, and programs may constrain or aid the implementation of ecosystem management; (2) institutional mechanisms for managing across jurisdictions; (3) internal organizational changes and new arrangements among resource agencies and the public; (4) theoretical principles underlying natural resource management; and (5) methodological approaches for researching instutional questions. Strategies to begin researching these questions are also suggested.
