水产养殖发展中应用更加综合性方法的理由是强有力的：海岸带水产养殖己给国家经济和海岸带人民带来了巨大利益；水产养殖极易遭受其他资源使用者所产生的污染的损害；如果不对之进行良好地设计与管理，它可能产生污染和护散疾病；其影响通常是有限的，但却是增值性和累积性的；而且它通常是在一些资源所有权或使用权未得到充分定义和不明确的地区运作的。把水产养殖纳入到海岸带管理的努力，能够有助于改善现行和未来水产养殖发展中对渔场及其他资源的先择、保护和分配。

The FAO Forestry Department promotes, among others, the responsible use of wood as an environmentally friendly raw material.
