Implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAF)

The World Summit on Sustainable Development, Johannesburg, 2002, encourages nations to apply

the ecosystem approach by 2010...

Fisheries User Community10 January 2008, Sophia Antipolis (France)


What are our objectives?

• "An ecosystem approach to fisheries strives to balance diverse societal objectives, by taking into account the knowledge and uncertainties about biotic, abiotic and human components of ecosystems and their interactions and applying an integrated approach to fisheries within ecologically meaningful boundaries."

UN recommendations: FAO should provide indicators for assessment of High

Seas stocks “distinguish catch in the High Seas from catch within EEZs”

current status: reporting by statistical areas

CWP recommendations: enhance quality of global catch statistics

“stronger integration of existing catch Databases

Summary of needs Create an information system which will facilitate ...

the dissemination through tables or maps of credible estimates of catch data, according to users’ choice of spatial resolution, based on best available statistic sources and with transparent algorythms.

the comparison of catch statistics among various sources.

through mechanisms allowing ... semi-automated import of distributed data sources harmonization of heterogeneous sources implementation of re-allocation rules intensive data processing support for query, output and annotation. easy updating and feedback processes

Current status: communities of practices (CoP):

with e-infrastructures using structured data

research needs in Marine sciences enable data sharing beyond established CoP enable collaborative approaches

generalizing solutions to interoperability is desirable

Opportunity D4Science offers an approach

Grid technology: opportunities and challenges

21

Many outstanding questionsof Technical nature

is toolkit in line with our IS-IT strategy/needs? logical extension of our current infrastructure, which breaks the

current limits respecting highly structured info sources based on semantic

meaning

are technical goals realistic? duplicating existing tools, or building on existing services? ability to build over other interoperability solutions: Networked

ontologies


22

Broader strategic issueshow to maintain momentum / commitment from

communities

imperious need to reconciliate diverging logics informatic sciences: fast, demo of potential, swap to next challenge user communities: inertia, “data” investments, gap between sponsors and

final users vested with knowledge generation

solutions? strong buy-in supported by institutional needs software co-ownership stepwise approach to delivery modular design – benefits from each module long term commitment from sponsors
