Why – NOAA Fisheries Priorities & GuidanceNOAA Fisheries will continue to advance ecosystem-basedmanagement to deliver the information and services needed to achieve our mission.Fisheries Implementing ecosystem-based management principles with anintegrated approach linking biological, physical, and social science. Recognizing the impacts of climate change and other stressors onfisheries and the communities that depend on them.Protected Species NOAA Fisheries will advance an integrated approach to achieve jointecological and societal benefits that support living marine resourcestewardship when protected species and sustainable fisheriesdecisions overlap. Better understanding and managing for climate change impacts .U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 5
Why We Do What We DoMandates and NOAA Fisheries guidanceenable and call for ecosystem approaches.By taking into account the linkedcomponents of ecosystems(biological, physical, chemical, and socio-economic) we can achieve optimalmanagement results for fisheries, protected species, and their habitats.Directly considering tradeoffs amongcompeting objectives within and among ocean use sectors isessential.Ecosystem approaches to management requireecosystem level science.U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 6
What We DoLead & support the production, delivery, and use ofecosystem information to fulfill the agency’s mandates Focal point for national ecosystem science issues within NOAA Fisheries Support the NOAA Fisheries Science Centers Work with internal & external partners to develop, facilitate support for, and overseescience programs to advance ecosystem approaches to marine resource managementU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 7

NOAA Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA)Why? Increases ability to predict likely outcomesof management actions. Allows decision-makers to account for &manage in context of multiple, interactinginfluences; assess trade-offs.What? Science based framework to supportdecision making in an ecosystem context.How? FY16 2.66M distributedbased on strategic plan, regional work plans& steering committee recommendationsU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 17
Fisheries and the Environment (FATE) ProgramWhy? Understanding the responses to environmentalconditions is required to develop forecastsand assess the long-term impacton marine ecosystems.What? Develop ecological and oceanographicproducts for improving fishery stockassessments, Ecosystem Status Reports,and IEAs.How? FY16 1.65M distributedvia internal proposal competitionU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 18
Fisheries Habitat ScienceWhy? Improving understanding about the relationshipsbetween marine species and their habitats allowsus to better manage our living marine resources.What? National coordination of NOAA Fisheries habitatscience activities and implementation of the HabitatAssessment Improvement Plan (HAIP).How? FY16 0.5 M distributedvia internal proposal competition,previous years up to 1.0 MU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 19
Marine Ecosystems and ClimateWhy? Increase the production, delivery anduse of climate-related informationto fulfill NOAA Fisheries mandatesin a changing climate.What? Provide national leadership and supportfor climate-related science activities. Lead internal science planningHow? Build partnerships and leverage resources. FY16 - 0.87M distributed Support Climate &Fisheries Research Program and other initiatives.U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 20
COPEPOD: The global plankton database projectWhy? To provide global plankton and ecosystems data, products, andexploration tools for the marine ecosystem and fisheriesresearch communities.What? A global database of plankton survey dataand prepared data products. Online toolkits for the discovery and analysis of time series andthe extraction and visualization of in situ and satellite data.How? One scientist focused on plankton data compilation andanalysis, product development, and collaboration with planktonand ecosystem scientists.U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 21
Ecosystem Modeling CoordinationWhy? Ensure Science Centers have adequatecapacity, consistency and rigor, uptake byregional management bodies.What? Develop technical standards and modelingtoolbox, identify capacity gaps.How? Provide national coordination,National Ecosystem Modeling Workshops,lead workgroupsU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 22
