AquaTT News. The Atlas Project (A trans-Atlantic assessment and deep-sea ecosystem-based spatial management plan for Europe, H2020) kicked off on June 2016. This marks the beginning of an exciting series of expeditions involving at least 25 research cruises and hundreds of scientists from 10 European countries, the USA and Canada, working collaboratively to explore the
ICES has released an interview with three of the extperts involved in the Strategic Initiative on the Human Dimension (SIHD) about the defining the "human dimension" concept, its importance, and what they bring to the table. Ecological economist Jasper Kenter, social scientist Marloes Kraan and ecologist and conservation biologist Phil Levin point out to drivers,
Abstract The European Union is aiming to implement an Ecosystem Approach for the management of all human activities in the marine environment, hereunder the fisheries sector. Since the last reform of the Common Fisheries Policy in 2013, several analyses have highlighted the barriers and challenges to this aim. Despite the claim that much of the
Circumpolar Agricultural Conference 2016 The 9th Circumpolar Agricultural Conference is approaching fast and will be held in Reykjavík, October 6th-8th. A detailed program has been published at the conference website, www.caa2016.com. The conference fee will increase September 1st by 25%. The conference committee encourages you to register and book a hotel as soon as possible.
The last week ICES organized MSEAS 2016, focused on Understanding marine socio-ecological systems: including the human dimension in integrated Ecosystem Assessments. Four MareFramers (IFM, UiT, UI and CETMAR) presented on-going results from the project, addressing policy-science-society interfaces, stakeholders engagement and coupling models and fishers behaviours.

Research Article. A recent open access release addresses the integration of scientific and local knowledge to advance in Ecosystem modelling. Bevilacqua et al. (2016) model the same fishing area using fisher's knowledge and scientific information. The study provides evidence that fishers’ knowledge may suitably complement scientific data, and may improve the modeling tools for the
Improving Fisheries Advice within an Ecosystem Approach is one of the MareFrame tasks. The question of which quantitative modelling tools can be used to support an ecosystem approach to management has been addressed from several angles. Anne B. Hollowed et al. (2011) focused on the implications of decisions on the biological system being managed. By
