Terms of Reference
-
To review the current state of knowledge in different marine and terrestrial disciplines relevant to the development of indicators for marine ecosystems (environmental, ecological and fisheries)
-
To review theories (hierarchy, cascade…) and indicators that have been developed in terrestrial ecology and to assess their utility for marine ecosystems.
-
To develop new indicators to study the functional role of species in ecosystems, exploitation and environment using output of multi-species models or available time series (e.g., fish catch statistics….), and using satellites, GIS (Geographic Information System).
-
To apply these indicators in a comparative way to characterize ecosystem states, changes and functioning.
-
To assess the utility of these indicators for management purposes and for the sustainable utilization of renewable resources.
