Finding common ground in marine conservation and management

Finding common ground in marine conservation and management

In this working group at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), we are trying to bridge divergences between fisheries science and marine ecology by developing a common database and analytical framework for assessing marine fisheries and ecosystem change. We are then applying this framework to a number of representative marine ecosystems around the globe, assessing management successes and failures. The group is co-led by Boris Worm and Ray Hilborn (University of Washington).
