Session
1. Understanding ecosystem dynamics and pursuing ecosystem approaches
to management

PICES undertakes a new science program, FUTURE
(Forecasting and Understanding
Trends, Uncertainty
and Responses of North Pacific Marine
Ecosystems), to understand the responses
of marine ecosystems in the North Pacific to climate change and human
activities, having the major questions: 1) How does ecosystem structure
and function determine an ecosystem's response to natural and anthropogenic
forcing? 2) How do physical and chemical processes respond to natural
and anthropogenic forcing and how are ecosystems likely to respond to
these changes in abiotic processes? 3) How do human activities impact
coastal marine ecosystems and their interactions with offshore and terrestrial
systems. We have only a limited ability to forecast how marine ecosystems
will be affected by the changing global climate. Consequently, we still
have limited knowledge on the assessment and management of marine ecosystems.
Under this situation, it is necessary to improve our understanding of
ecosystem structure and function, ecosystem stability and resilience,
and to understand and quantify the impacts of human activities and climate
on marine ecosystems. It is urgent that we develop and adopt a comprehensive
ecosystem-based approach which will be required to manage depleted and
deteriorated marine ecosystems. To this end, breakthroughs have to be
made in many areas, including evaluation of ecosystem status.
