Organiser: Ecopath International Inititative, European Marine Board, NOAA, VLIZ, ECOscope
Registration: www.ecopath40.org/registration
The gathering will be an international scientific reunion of ecosystem modelers using the EwE modelling framework and software (" www.ecopath.org" ).
The conference welcomes speakers covering the full ecosystem continuum from knowledge to decisions, though we will especially appreciate contributions that demonstrate progress on making EBM operational. This includes studies/projects that bring ecosystem modelling to the fora where management and policy decisions are made. Fisheries management can be part of that, but the aim is the ecosystem, and with it processes that focus on the spectra of activities that are of importance for management of ecosystems (be they marine, freshwater or terrestrial). It's about ecosystem-based management.
The EwE40 Conference will be hosted by the Flanders Marine Institute (Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee, VLIZ) and the European Marine Board, at the InnovOcean campus in Ostend, Belgium.
