Work package 7 (WP7) workshop, one part of the MareFrame project, will be held in Copenhagen on Wednesday October 5, 2016. This workshop will be held in connection with the ICES meeting on October 4, 2016, to be held at the same location.

The objective of the WP7 is to compare and evaluate the developed ecosystem based models and the decision support system with respect to their suitability to predict ecosystem changes in the regional case studies investigated in the project, and their capability to improve marine policies.

Assess socio-economic impacts and propose how a new integrated ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) can be implemented in Europe.

Develop an interactive learning tool to facilitate the implementation of EAFM.

In this WP continuous evaluation and comparison is made with regard to progress towards the main objectives of the project (New tools and Technologies, Multispecies Assessment Methods and Decision Support Framework) in order to synthesize the MareFrame approach and contribution to a new integrated ecosystem approach to fishery management (EAFM) in Europe.
