WP-4 Ecosystem modelling
6
Deliverables D4.1 Data relevant for ecosystem
modelling disseminated through WP-1 D4.2
Ecosystem models available for all incofish
ecosystems D4.3 Spatial ecosystem models
available for all selected LMEs D4.4 Further
development of models, interactions with WPs,
final report D4.5 At least five scientific
publications related to this WP to be published
or submitted by WP members before the end of the
project

Description of work Standardized ecosystem
models for all selected ecosystems will be
provided with the objective to compile and make
available (through WP 1) all data relevant for
model construction. Work closely with WP 5 on
the size and placement of protected areas. Some
simulation scenarios and hypotheses will be
tested through the models involving aspects such
as biodiversity conservation and fisheries
conflicts, impact of fisheries on the ecosystems,
resilience, fisheries management, meta-analysis
and search for patterns of ecosystem response
(interaction with WPs 2,7,8)

There is a variety of ecosystems, initially
defined, covering a variety of characteristics D
ifferent latitudes, continents, oceans and Large
Marine Ecosystems Different types of ecosystems
upwellings, pelagic, benthic, continental
shelves, wetlands, semi-closed seas. Different
fisheries and management problems,
overexploitation, stocks depletion, conflicts
between industrial and artisanal fisheries and
with conservation, among others. With this
variety of ecosystems we have an excellent
opportunity to test hypotheses, explore patterns
of response of ecosystems to perturbations,
explore MPAs, and particularly the opportunity to
perform comparative analysis (meta-analysis).

Start-up meeting (Kiel, Germany) Partners of WPs
4 and 5 met together during the start-up workshop
to discuss the general strategy. All partners
from both WPs attended this meeting with the
exception of those from South Africa and Senegal.
Natural interaction between WP4 and WP5
determines the need of meeting together to
formulate general guidelines concerning the work
plans and particularly interactions and
definition of milestones, as well as a first view
of the study cases. After a brief explanation of
the background of the project and the WP4 we
discussed the objectives, orientation and
deliverables, with particular consideration of
the deadlines for deliverables as inputs to
WP5. During discussions differences between
ecosystems emerged, such as points of view on
the work to be developed by the WP4,
characteristics of tools for modelling ecosystems
to be used degree of development (modelling
process), the need for know-how, partners skills
and experience in modelling process, as well as
some characteristics of ecosystems to be
modelled. Tentative dates were established for
WP4-workshops and deliverables, and some
guidelines were defined for the first workshop
within the WP4.

Milestones and expected results First workshop to
define and distribute tasks such as selection and
assignment of ecosystems to be modelled. suggest
hypothesis and scenarios to be tested (WP
members, representatives of WPs 1 5 month 9/10
ltJan-06 / Feb-06gt) Second workshop to start
service function for other WPs, construct
ecosystem models. Testing hypothesis and
scenarios (WP members representatives of other
WPs, month 15, Jul-06 ) Third workshop to
construct ecosystem spatial-models. Testing
hypothesis and scenarios (WP members
representatives of other WPs, month 21/22 ltJan-07
/ Feb-07gt) Fourth workshop to present ecosystem
models, prepare meta-analysis. Testing hypothesis
and scenarios (WP members, representatives of
other WPs (1,2,5,7,8) month 30, Oct-07)

WP4. First Workshop It is planned for
mid-January early February, in conjunction with
WP5 Objectives Know characteristics of the
ecosystems to be modelled and focus (MPAs,
testing hypothesis, both) Know the state of
knowledge, information available (including
previous know-how) needs Know skills,
experience and needs of the members concerning
modelling process. Define actions in consequence
to guarantee the arrival at deliverables as
programmed. Actions identified as necessary were
a technical workshop on modelling process with
Ecopath with Ecosim suite of programs, and
definition of a close advice (stanzas)
strategy. Suggest testing hypothesis Discuss
strategies for interaction with WP5 in terms of
further work Discuss other needs and demands
(i.e. WP1), including external advising, or
outputs for WP8) Analyze the possibility to
develop interactive maps from ecospace (i.e
routines on management) or like GIS overlaping
maps, as outputs aimed to interaction with public
Consider invitees for workshops (within incofish
partners or external) Discuss about expected
publications (showing interactions) Review
agenda and synergies
