From Fish to Fowl: How long-term monitoring can support adaptive managementTuesday, February 5, 2013Synoposis COMPASS brought together three leading scientists to discuss how long-term monitoring can support effective management. Priority policy and management discussions in California - such as the Marine Life Protection Act, Delta smelt, and freshwater resource management - seek to implement effective and adaptive management approaches in the face of sometimes competing and highly contested uses. |
Sharing a Crowded Ocean: Making Tradeoffs Transparent to Support Informed Ocean UseMonday, May 21, 2012COMPASS and SeaPlan brought together scientists, managers, and stakeholders to explore how science can support more transparent and efficient decision-making. Tradeoffs are made in every management decision. In many cases, those tradeoffs are never made explicit. In other cases,... |
Securing the flow of ocean benefits in the face of the one-two punch of ocean acidification and climate changeWednesday, May 23, 2012Both climate change and ocean acidification pose threats to the flow of ocean benefits to people. Amidst growing societal demand for these benefits, two in particular-- food and protection from coastal hazards-- are intimately linked to global security. This panel at the Global Conference on Oceans, Climate and Security (GCOCS) highlighted the implications of climate change and acidification for the continued ability of the... |
A Tale of Two Bays: How the "Long View" on Ecological Change Can Lead to More Effective Use of Management ResourcesTuesday, May 15, 2012Synopsis For conservation and restoration of coastal systems to best maximize return on investment, we must understand how and why ecosystems change and what role management actions play in steering a system along a desired course. Effective monitoring of these systems helps us understand differences in long-term responses to external stressors--nutrient pollutions, fisheries extraction, and shifting climate--that suggest the need for adaptable policy frameworks.... |
