Abstract
This chapter aims to provide a summary of the major conclusions and recommendations presented in this volume. It provides a brief conclusion and recommendations for lakes’ better management. Also, it contains some findings from the few recently published work related to the Egyptian coastal lakes. The chapter contains the main background of the Egyptian coastal northern lakes’ physical, chemical, and biological properties. These lakes include Bardawil, Manzala, Burullus, Edku, and Mariout. Moreover, a set of recommendations for future research work is extracted to direct the researcher community toward sustainability of the lake’s ecosystem.
