This conference, for researchers, practitioners, and activists, will focus on questions relating to systemic change: What kind of systemic alternatives are desirable and feasible in the economic, political, social, and cultural spheres? What systems have to change, and why is it so hard to change them? What strategies could environmental movements adopt in order to
This report is a Deliverable of Work Package 7 (WP7 – Synthesis & training development) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. In this report we introduce tutor-web, the Learning Content Management System (LCMS) chosen to store MareFrame learning material, and subsequently outline the available content and explain where it can be downloaded from. Finally, we
This report is a deliverable of Work Package 7 (WP7 – Synthesis & training development) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. The report comprises two main parts. The first part presents a protocol for the comparison and evaluation of the ecosystem models that have been developed and applied within the MareFrame project. This is to
This report is a deliverable of Work Package 5 (WP5 – Apply new methods in case studies) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. It documents the application of a large number of ecosystem models into the different case studies with the ultimate goal to provide the quantitative information required by the decision support tools developed
This report is the 7th deliverable in WP4 and studies the performance of Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and Gadget in data-poor cases. The Atlantis model that was constructed for Icelandic waters was used as an operating model and data simulated from the model for data-poor scenarios. The simulated data was fed into EwE and Gadget
This report, deliverable 4.6 (D4.6), is a deliverable of Work Package 4 (WP4 – Ecosystem models and assessment models) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. The aim of the MareFrame project is to identify management strategies which will achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) by applying a minimum of two ecosystem models on each of eight
This report is a deliverable of work package 4 (WP4 – Ecosystem models and assessment models) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. The aim of the MareFrame project is to identify management strategies which will encompass the ecosystem approach to fisheries management. The generic strategy for the project is to apply a minimum of two
This report is the 4th deliverable in WP4 and studies the performance of two models commonly used in this WP, Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and Gadget. An Atlantis model was constructed for Icelandic waters and used as an operating model, i.e. simulated data from Atlantis was fed into EwE and Gadget. Thus, Atlantis was considered
The debate on the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) has shifted from definition of the concept towards implementation. In the European Union (EU) challenges and barriers coming from the scientific knowledge base and the institutional framework have been analysed elsewhere. However, in the current playing field other challenges have gone unnoticed. These relate to
This report is a deliverable of work package 4 (WP4 – Ecosystem models and assessment models) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. One of the aims of the MareFrame project is to identify management strategies which will achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) by applying a minimum of two ecosystem models on each of eight different
