MEAM Feb-Mar 2015, Issue 8:3 The MEAM issue provides useful insights into what scientist tend do wrong, do right and can improve in communicating science to policy-makers. Shortly: Build trust with policy-makers instead of just focusing on short-term wins. When describing your science, lead with the "why" not the "what". Policy-makers and their constituents don't

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
