4. BIO Topic Session
Census of Marine Life - Exploring ocean life: Past, present and future
Co-Convenors: Michael
Feldman, Clarence Pautzke, Andrew Rosenberg (U.S.A.) and Sinjae Yoo
(Korea)
The Census of Marine Life (CoML) is a global scientific
initiative to assess and explain the changing diversity, distribution,
and abundance of marine species in the past and present, and to build
the capacity to project future diversity. CoML is the initiative of
unprecedented size and scope, engaging more than 2000 scientists and
ocean professionals from over 80 countries with a common mission towards
improving the understanding of life in the ocean. This session will
summarize the past 10 years of results from the global CoML program,
highlighting specific products and how CoML information and data can
be used or applied. It will open with an overview of the entire program
and its accomplishments, and then delve deeper into various program
components with featured speakers representing Census activities in
the Arctic, deep sea, tagging and tracking, HMAP, FMAP, NaGISA, corals,
DNA barcoding, microbes, and other exciting projects. Contributors will
discuss findings and discoveries with particular attention to the information
released at the CoML "Decade of Discovery" events in London
just weeks earlier. Discussion will also center on additional ways to
apply the newly released CoML information to answer the growing global
questions of ocean acidification and climate change, and the role of
marine biodiversity information with managing through ecosystems approaches
and marine spatial planning. The session will conclude with a consideration
of lessons learned from CoML, exploring some of the most successful
(and some not-so successful) aspects of the program in the context of
developing any future coordinated marine biodiversity efforts.
