A group of researchers from the US, Canada and the EU has reviewed ecosystem based management in the North Atlantic. The management of marine ecosystems is transitioning towards implementation of of ecosystem-based management, which offers a more systematic and integrated approach compared with conventional management. Ecosystem Based Management is informed by science and includes key elements such as connections and linkages between and within ecosystems, as well as with social and economic systems. We found a common understanding of concepts, sufficient mandates for action and sufficient tools for most components of EBM. So why is implemention so slow? This is explored and five key messages are delivered: • Ecosystem Based Management enables new benefits and opportunities; make the business case • Yes, we can!; adequate mandates and effective tools exist for Ecosystem Based Management • Integration of human dimensions is essential for Ecosystem Based Managment; diversify the conversation • Stakeholders don’t see their stake (in Ecosystem Based Management); engage and target ocean literacy to professionals • A sustainable future requires a sustained investment in Ecosystem Based Management; commitment is key

National coordination of consistent NRM data and information to inform land u...Richard Thackway
Land use and planning utilizes varied natural resource datasets obtained from diverse sources; national, state, regional, local and site levels. The Australia Government plays a major role in coordinating the collection, compilation, analysis and publication of nationally consistent environmental datasets. These national compilations have proven critical to supporting informed land use decision making at national, state and regional levels. This Australia Government role, acknowledges that the state and territory governments under the Australian constitution are responsible for day-to-day land use and land management. Coordinating the efficient national collection, compilation and supply of agreed data for different purposes involves developing agreed environmental guidelines and standards as well as legal instruments. The Australian Government and its agencies also perform a major role as a broker in the establishment, development and maintenance of mutual benefit partnerships between collaborating land management and research institutions. Good examples of efficient and effective coordinating arrangements are usually supported through publicly funded NRM programs which enable the data owner /supplier to add value to existing data infrastructure programs to meet an agreed national data standard.
There are a number of pathways to incorporate ecosystem information in decision making for fisheries management. Some actors have specific expectations about how this information should be incorporated.
In the Northeast Atlantic, there has been a stealth incorporation which has not been explicitly labelled and largely happened unnoticed. The incorporation has been in the understanding of ecosystem dynamics, the adaption of management rules, and the broadening of concepts, such as MSY.
Are we failing to account for this progress and tied to former narratives? It is not just about maximising uptake into fisheries management decisions but also about being able to measure and communicate effectively that uptake

Presentation by David Vousden of the Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem at the 1st targeted workshop for GEF IW projects in Africa in April 2012 in South Africa.
Climate change is dramatically challenging the assumption of a stable system; the assumption of stability underpins fisheries science, institutional governance structures, processing and access to markets. We need to ensure that fishing systems prepare and respond to inevitable oncoming change. Knowledge holders are now working together to find tools and solutions to maintain the resilience of fisheries. This talk highlights how to maintain sustainable harvesting of fish in the face of a changing environment, what paths can we take to ensure that fisheries remain resilient to climate change and what are the next steps for the GFCM community to transform the fisheries system? Ecosystem-based management offers us a framework, but how do we pragmatically take steps to build a stronger future for our fisheries?
It is impossible to deny the role of stock assessments and simulations of harvest control rules in the increase of sustainable fisheries in the North Atlantic. Across the spectrum from data rich to data limited, new methods are being applied that further improve the evidence base for management. However, all fisheries are obliged to operate under the ecosystem approach (EA) and the narrative exists that traditional fisheries science does not equate with EA. Ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) requires an assessment of risk, and the trade-off between management objectives. Higher risk, requires stronger evidence. This talk will highlight how fisheries science, whether implicitly or explicitly, is contributing to EBFM and that in the highly fished North Atlantic, EBFM cannot be executed without strong stock assessments, forecasts and MSEs. It will also lay out some challenges ahead for fisheries science as fisheries management needs to deliver to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

ICES advice on pulse trawl versus beam trawl ecological impactMark Dickey-Collas
ICES advice on ecological impact of pulse trawl compared to beam trawl for North Sea sole fishery. https://www.ices.dk/news-and-events/news-archive/news/Pages/PulseTrawlAdvice.aspx
Pulse trawling is the application of electrical stimulation to replace the conventional mechanical stimulation with tickler chains in the beam trawl fishery for sole.
ICES advice is that the change from conventional beam trawling to pulse trawling, when exploiting the total allowable catch (TAC) of North Sea sole (Solea solea), does contribute to reducing the impacts of the sole fishery on the ecosystem and environment.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

6. ICES Fishing Areas
1904 - 1980
Purpose:
• Collect fisheries statistics.
• Fish stocks associated with
fishing areas.
7. ICES initial advice on ecoregions
2004
Purpose:
• Individual regional areas for
ecological objectives
• For research, management,
assessment, monitoring,
enforcement
8. ICES initial advice on ecoregions
Evaluated the following existing systems:
• OSPAR regions
• ICES fishing areas
• Large Marine Ecosystems
• Longhurst Provinces
• Dinter Biogeographical Regions
• EU regional Advisory Council
Evaluated across 22 criteria (see table)
Ecoregions proposed based on biogeographic & oceanographic features,
taking account of existing political, social, economic & management divisions.
9. ICES existing ecoregions - scoping and iterations
2015
Purpose:
• Clarify borders
• Underpin regional
framework for ICES advice
• Bring advice for EBFM and
EBM together
• Enable regional innovation
11. Lessons learnt
1. Do not assume that nations have agreed EEZ boundaries,
or management boundaries.
2. Fields of disciplines will be very wedded to their existing systems for regionalisation
& may not accept the notion of merging or splitting region for other priorities (e.g.
socio-political rationale). There will be purists that you will upset.
3. Once adopting ecoregions then do it with commitment and visibility, to show that
the ecosystem approach is at the heart of your science and advice.
4. Be very careful & sensitive to the issue of names.
The naming of the regions should be given a large amount
of attention, as the name of the region may have cultural,
disciplinary or political connotations.
12. Lessons learnt
5. Engage early and often with management authorities. Design an iterative process.
6. Determine criteria for regions across a range of categories/disciplines. Ensure
criteria for defining ecoregions consider both ecological & social (political)
processes. Remain flexible in addressing regional concerns as small boundary
changes are unlikely to undermine broad socioecological justification for the
regions.
7. Scope widely, and determine your stakeholders before the scoping.
8. Do not expect definitive regions as the end product.
Likely changes will be needed also after an agreement
has been reached. Ensure long term management
of the regionalisation system.
13. Lessons learnt
9. Be aware that boundaries from other regionalisation
systems or EEZ boundaries are also subject to change
over time. So although boundaries have been aligned
with these, this may not be the case in the future.
10. Expect to change some of the boundaries,
names or rationale through the process.
11. Link to a GIS system, & document & archive each
decision, as they may be challenged later.
