Discussions will take place in the context of aquatic ecology and presume a background of standard aquatic toxicology methods. Methods for assessing risks, including environmental impact assessment, risk quotients, national, and international risk assessment paradigms, and cumulative effects assessment will be examined. Critical connections between assessment and management will be discussed in lectures and tutorials.
