Abstract
The paper presented focuses on basic needs for data management and for integration of efforts towards information production as required by sound environmental decision making. Need for integrated approaches is indicated between: (a) each step of the data management system; (b) different disciplines involved in environmental monitoring; and (c) different countries so as to facilitate international exchange of information for the solution of global environmental problems.
