The article deals with the development of approaches to the integrated use of multitrophic aquaculture resources in the recreational business. It is revealed that multitrophic aquaculture allows successfully combining several areas in nature management. This includes obtaining high-quality food products (both of animal and plant origin), protecting and growing valuable medicinal plants, expanding the area of melliferous plants, and cultivating various industrial crops. It is proved that fish farming, often being extensive, can be considered as a kind of organic farming in the framework of recreational projects using multipurpose reservoirs. It is revealed that reservoirs used in recreational business, as well as the territories directly adjacent to them, are often characterized by an increased level of biodiversity that allows considering such territorial complexes as important stabilizing ecological zones.

Purpose of the study: The aim of the article is to develop proposals for improving environmental education management technology. Main Findings: Analysis of the approaches used in the theory and practice of environmental education management has shown that it is most appropriate to form the development, consistency, and self-organization principles, as well as data of modern natural science and individual areas of ecology, namely, general ecology, human ecology, global ecology, and social ecology. It is revealed that additional important sources of environmental education should include geological ecology, engineering ecology, agroecology, and some other environmental disciplines. Applications of this study: It is proved that the introduction of special courses at various levels of education, which integratively reflect the content of new environmental disciplines, becomes a mandatory requirement. In this context, distinguishing the key concepts, which reflect the invariant phenomena and processes in different areas of ecology, in environmental education is quite essential. This allows justifying the internal unity of environmental disciplines and determining the optimal form of presentation of educational information. Novelty/Originality of this study: It is revealed that environmental education should be aimed at the development of environmental consciousness and education of the individual with an environmental outlook. Accordingly, environmental education should be continuous, systematic, and interdisciplinary. It should be supplemented by various sources of up-to-date information.
