Finding common ground in marine conservation and management
This working group at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) attempted 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 applied this framework to a number of representative marine ecosystems around the globe, and assessed management successes and failures. The group was co-led by Boris Worm (Dalhousie University) and Ray Hilborn (University of Washington).
