Abstract
The background and rationale for the symposium held in Seattle, Washington, USA, on New Perspectives for Watershed Management in the Pacific Northwest are presented. As the region develops, natural resource availability is declining, increasing demands are being made on the remaining resources, and the cumulative impacts on the environmental and social systems are becoming severe. This has resulted in contentious debates within the growing population as global economic demands for forest, fish, water, and wildlife resources expand. Resolution of these conflicts requires new perspectives that combine social, economic, and environmental concerns with an approach to watershed management where forest, range, agricultural, wetland, and urban parcels are treated in an integrated manner.
