On February 26th representatives of the Pelagic Advisory Council have participated in the Decision Support Workshop for the North Sea Case Study in The Hague. Leaded by John Pope, this is one of the most challenging case studies for MareFrame (view details here). Since 2014, the PELAC has proactively contributed to both the overarching goals
Abstract Anchovy population dynamics in the Gulf of Cádiz are governed by environmental processes. Sea surface temperature, intense easterly winds, and discharges from the Guadalquivir River have been identified as key factors determining early life stage mortality in this anchovy stock. We have constructed an environment-based recruitment model that simulates the abundance of juveniles under
Defining researchers as "professionals engaged in the creation of new knowledge, products, processes, methods and systems, as well as the management of these projects", currently only 28% of R&D workers wordlwide are women, according to a study by UNESCO. MareFrame is proud of its figures, from the project Coordinator -Anna K. Danielsdottir- to the 43%
On February 3rd 2016, the latest developments of the MareFrame West of Scotland case study were presented and discussed at the meeting of the North Western Waters Advisory Council (NWWAC). A set of management alternatives had previously been defined in cooperation with stakeholders at an earlier meeting on September 30th 2015. These alternatives were simulated
Editor’s Choice of the latest issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science show how insurance concepts allow evaluations of trade-offs between economic gains and risks for an anchovy stock. Rincón et al describe an innovative way of measuring the economic value of accounting for specific sources of variability in stock dynamics. The study builds
Manchester, 6-7 June Deadline for Abstract submission: 15th April. People worldwide depend on fisheries and coastal ecosystems for their income and subsistence production needs. How these systems are managed and developed is therefore a critical question with sustainability, equity, poverty and health dimensions. Studies of the risks associated with the management of these systems are
The ICES annual science conference 2016 will take place in Riga, Latvia, September 19-23. One of the theme session will cover the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management (EAFM), which is a topic of major interest to the MareFrame project. One of the members of the MareFrame project, John Pope, a case study leader of the North
Abstract Trends towards a more participatory agenda in policy-relevant science imply that the roles and work tasks of scientists become more multifaceted. In Europe, the increased use of multiannual plans creates a need for fishery scientists to contribute with their expertise in a wide variety of situations. We identify and characterize four roles for scientists
Recently teenagers in Fjölbrautaskólinn in Garðabær, an upper secondary level comprehensive school located in the town of Garðabær, Iceland, introduced to their fellow student to the concept of MareFrame. According to the parents of one of the students, the students did a great job presenting MareFrame and lively discussions on how to take better care
