Description: Das Projekt "Placing fisheries resources in their ecosystem context - cooperation, comparisons and human impact" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Stiftung Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung e.V. (AWI) durchgeführt. Objective: The objectives of the concerted action are: - To produce scientific methodology toward ecosystem management of marine resources through the construction and analysis of mass-balance models of exploited marine ecosystem of the Atlantic coasts of Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, of the Caribbean, and of the Pacific coast of Latin America to gain information of the resources and their interaction. - To compare mass-balance models along gradients and transects guaranteeing the highest possible differences, including latitude, ensuring strong ecological (cold vs. warm), and socio-economic (industrialized vs. developing) gradients. - To evaluate the impact of human exploitation on marine and coastal ecosystems with the purpose of setting criteria for eco-labelling of fishery products, which will thus accrue additional benefits as a consequence of this concerted action. General Information: The key activities include: - Linking researchers in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America working with mass-balance models of exploited, marine ecosystems through open, voluntary and proactive cooperation. - Support of and cooperation between the partners in the model parametrization, analysis, and description. - Arranging four regional training workshops to ensure that a sufficient number of representative ecosystem models are prepared. The workshops will ensure that all partners share a common methodology and information base with regards to ecosystem modelling. - Conduct two international synthesis workshops covering the two major regions involved (Atlantic and Caribbean, and Eastern Pacific, respectively), where the ecosystem models can be presented, discussed between participants, and analyzed comparatively. The workshops will provide an opportunity for active researchers to discuss and compare their ecosystem analysis, North-South transects, gradients of industrialized/non-industrialized exploitation, and ecosystem criteria for eco-labelling of fishery products. Achievements: Expected Outcome - An Internet website will be published including description of modelling approach, a database of models, parameters and partner information. - Subsequent to the international workshop the models will be published in edited proceedings. - An interactive CD-ROM will be published containing all data, methodologies, model descriptions, etc. - Establishment of capabilities for multispecies management of fisheries, and ecosystem modelling in many partner institutions. Prime Contractor: Nordsocentret; Hirtsals; Denmark.
