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

ICES Strategic Plan, launched in 2014, commits to building a foundation of science around one key challenge: integrated ecosystem understanding. Here, Mark Dickey-Collas, ICES Ecosystem Professional Officer, explains what integrated means to ICES science and advice.
Presentation by Dr. Christopher Cox, Programme Director of the Caribbean Environmental Health Institute (CEHI) at the 5th Annual High Level Session of the Global Water Partnership-Caribbean (GWP-C).
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
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.
Deep sea vulnerable marine ecosystems (VME) are protected in the Northeast Atlantic through an annual advice process from ICES. The evidence for VMEs, the presence and impact of bottom trawl fishing are assessed, and the areas in need of protection are listed by ICES for the EU and for the Northeast Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
ICES advice - incorporating ecosystem based considerationsMark Dickey-Collas
Presentation given DGMARE Fisheries Science seminar.
24 June 2022.
As the knowledge base develops, you must also transform the system that creates, shares & uses that knowledge base.
The presentation uses examples to show:
1. Overviews & assessment of risk, provide context to specific challenges
2. Account for dynamic fisheries in social-ecological system
3. Wider participation in developing tools, e.g. maps for spatial advice
4. Progress science under plurality of management objectives
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 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.
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.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
2. Is it already covered?
Ocean ecosystem-based management (EBM)
mandates & implementation across the North
Atlantic.
Dickey-Collas, Rudd, Ferretti,
Johannesen, Macdonald,
Laughlin, Rae, Thiele, Link
@DickeyCollas
@AtlanticAll
3. Key question
Considering the common understanding of the need for
EBM at the national & international level, & the lack of
sector cohesion in its implementation,
what is the current context of mandates
for implementation of EBM within &
across jurisdictions of US, Canada,
and EU?
4. Workshop on mandates for ecosystem-based ocean
governance across Canada, EU, & US
Task group to explore the mandate/s for ecosystem based
management (EBM) in the North Atlantic; an interdisciplinary mix of
lawyers, social scientists, & natural scientists.
https://www.atlanticresource.org/aora/site-area/publications/ea2ohs-wg/mandates-
ecosystem-based-ocean-governance-across-canada-eu-and-us
10. Scanned USA, Canada, EU & ABNJ for coverage
by mandate of the EBM principles
Rudd, et al., 2018 Frontiers in Marine Science
e.g.
Management objectives – are societal choices
Canada ✔ EU ✔
USA ✔ ABNJ ✔
Manage ecosystem in social context
Canada ❌ EU ❌ (but emerging Canada & EU)
USA ❌ ABNJ ?
Maintain productivity of ecosystems for present & future
generations
Canada ✔ EU ✔
USA ❌ ABNJ ?
11. Next step…tabulate for each jurisdiction the legislation
relative to ocean stressors/environment & human activity
Rudd, et al., 2018 Frontiers in Marine Science
Legislation/ Coverage
agreement ocean stressor/ human activity
environment & governance
For Canada, EU, USA & ABNJ
12. Findings
Irrespective of detailed requirements of legislation
or policy across jurisdictions, or efficacy of
implementation,
most major ocean pressures & uses posing
threats to sustainability have some form of
coverage by national or regional
legislation.
13. Key challenges to implementing EBM were identified
• Conflicting interpretations of laws & mandates
• Administrative practices & routines including organization &
power dynamics across government departments
• Imbalance across sectors
• Challenges of stakeholder involvement
• Conceptualizing EBM is context-specific
• Crises swamp longer-term priorities
• Operating across maritime boundaries
• Absence of good practices
showcasing the merits of EBM
Link et al., 2019 ICES J Mar Sci
15. Recommendations
1. Facilitate further institutionalization of EBM by realignment of funding
from project to base budget to ensure sustained & long-term capacity.
2. Revisit & consider effectiveness & impact of existing overarching,
integrative mandates (e.g. EU integrated maritime policy).
3. Mitigation of implementation barriers (by identifying & acknowledging
challenges, then by articulating political, economic, & social benefits).
4. Realignment of calls for research - cross-disciplinary to address both
institutionalization & implementation barriers of EBM.
