Source-to-sea is a highly promising holistic management approach since it highlights the upstream and downstream linkages between actions on land (e.g., urban development, agriculture and forestry) and across freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems. Through fostering participation and collaboration between stakeholders, it seeks to prioritize actions that hold the greatest potential for positive impacts across the whole system.
