Working group on ecosystem assessment of Western European shelf seas (WGEAWESS)
Abrantes, Fatima; Andonegi, Eider; Beggs, Steven; Bentley, Jacob; Borges, Fátima; Christensen, Villy; Corrales, Xavier; Depestele, JochenThe ICES Working Group on Ecosystem Assessment of Western European Shelf Seas (WGEA-WESS) aims to provide high quality science in support to holistic, adaptive, evidence-based man-agement in the Celtic seas, Bay of Biscay and Iberian coast regions. The group works towards developing integrated ecosystem assessments for both the (i) Celtic Seas and (ii) Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast which are summarized in the...
Past and future grand challenges in marine ecosystem ecology
Borja, Angel; Andersen, Jesper H.; Arvanitidis, Christos D.; Basset, Alberto; Buhl-Mortensen, Lene; Carvalho, Susana; Dafforn, Katherine A.Frontiers in Marine Science launched the Marine Ecosystems Ecology (FMARS-MEE) section in 2014, with a paper that identified eight grand challenges for the discipline (Borja, 2014). Since then, this section has published a total of 370 papers, including 336 addressing aspects of those challenges. As editors of the journal, with a wide range of marine ecology expertise, we felt it was timely to evaluate research...
Strong fisheries management and governance positively impact ecosystem status
Bundy, Alida; Chuenpagdee, Ratana; Boldt, Jennifer L.; Borges, Maria de Fatima; Camara, Mohamed Lamine; Coll, Marta; Diallo, Ibrahima; Fox, CliveFisheries have had major negative impacts on marine ecosystems, and effective fisheries management and governance are needed to achieve sustainable fisheries, biodiversity conservation goals and thus good ecosystem status. To date, the IndiSeas programme (Indicators for the Seas) has focussed on assessing the ecological impacts of fishing at the ecosystem scale using ecological indicators. Here, we explore fish...
Uses of Innovative Modeling Tools within the Implementation of the Marine Strat...
Lynam, Christopher P.; Uusitalo, Laura; Patrício, Joana; Piroddi, Chiara; Queirós, Ana M.; Teixeira, Heliana; Rossberg, Axel G.; Sagarminaga, YolandaIn Europe and around the world, the approach to management of the marine environment has developed from the management of single issues (e.g., species and/or pressures) toward holistic Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) that includes aims to maintain biological diversity and protect ecosystem functioning. Within the European Union, this approach is implemented through the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD...
