Establishing Baseline Data
The implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management involves a broadening of the knowledge base required and as such presents a challenge in terms of baseline information, data acquisition and data management.
This Work Package seeks to:
- Mobilise all scientific disciplines to acquire baseline information;
- Implement best practice in data management and data sharing;
- Map the case study areas identified in the ecosystem area definition work package;
- Identify best practice in the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management with supporting evidence from academic literature and international case study material;
The Work Package is led by Jeremy Gault
