  1. Study Group on Future Integrative Scientific Program PROGRESS REPORT

  2. SGFISP – Tasks • Solicit ideas for a new integrative program • Review and assess potential themes of broad interest • Solicit feedback from the PICES community • Provide recommendations to GC

  3. SGFISP – Themes proposed • Received 6 one-page themes • Many common elements • Willing to entertain other ideas • Want your participation

  4. SGFISP – Themes • Ecosystem based fisheries management and sustainable use • North Pacific marine ecosystem response to global change • A new integrative scientific program built upon the foundations of CCCC • North Pacific ocean sustainability • Coastal ocean ecosystems – the human dimension and climate • Status and trends in marine biodiversity • Plus a number of letters offering support as well as need of data management support

  5. SGFISP • Key words – • climate • forecasting • scenarios and uncertainty • human dimension and outreach • ecosystem response to change • sustainability • biodiversity • indicators • mechanisms

  6. SGFISP – Goals and Outcomes for the Next Scientific Program • Anticipate effects of ecosystem change • Provide scientific advice for a changing ocean ecosystem, such as: • Scenarios and forecasts • Impacts on humans • Outreach • Engage and expand the PICES community

  7. SGFISP – Future Directions in Establishing a New Program • Build upon the successful CCCC program • Move from climate variability to global change • Bring climate into management models • Key Elements – Forecasts, human dimension, mechanisms, scenarios

  8. SGFISP – A Possible Name? • FUTURE • Forecasting and • Understanding • Trends, • Uncertainty and • Responses of • Ecosystems

  9. SGFISP – Next Steps • Timeline • Edit and post 6 themes on PICES website • Seek comments and advice from PICES community by March 1, 2006 • By Intersessional SB meeting (April 2006) present consolidated theme(s) to GC • Preferred theme(s) announced in October 2006 at PICES XV (Yokohama)
