Climate Change and Aquatic Ecosystems: Impacts, Challenges, and Sustainable Management Strategies:                                                                                                                                     Climate change has become one of the most significant environmental challenges affecting aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and sea-level rise have substantially influenced freshwater and marine ecosystems. These changes affect water quality, biodiversity, ecosystem productivity, and socio-economic systems dependent on aquatic resources. This paper reviews recent literature on climate change impacts on aquatic ecosystems, presents a conceptual methodology for impact assessment, discusses observed environmental changes, and proposes sustainable adaptation and mitigation strategies. The findings indicate that integrated water resource management, ecosystem restoration, climate-resilient infrastructure, and advanced monitoring technologies are essential for preserving aquatic ecosystem health under changing climatic conditions.                                                                                                                                                               Keywords: Climate Change, Aquatic Ecosystems, Water Quality, Biodiversity, Wetlands, Sustainability, Water Resources.
