Nontechnical experts such as elected 229 2005 by Taylor Francis Group LLC 230 Ecotoxicological testing of marine and freshwater ecosystems officials in consultation with the public often make decisions regarding the commitment of political or resource expenditures. These decision-makers are often unfamiliar with data and techniques used to assess aquatic ecosystems. As such it is important that assessment results be effectively communicated in comprehensible terms and language to ensure that decision-makers and the public are adequately informed. The preceding chapters described advancements in aquatic bioassessment tools and techniques. Experts use the data obtained from studies employing these techniques in mathematical models such as ecological risk assessments to evaluate ecosystem health and integrity. While aquatic scientists may find the results of these models persuasive or indeed conclusive policy-makers and the general public often remain unconvinced. The seeming inability or unwillingness of the public to associate appropriate levels of risk with specific activities technologies and events is often frustrating to those conducting the assessments.
