1. CAML / SCAR-MarBIN Biogeographic Synthesis Workshop Villefranche-sur-Mer May Synthesize the new Southern Ocean biogeography

2. Synthesize the new Southern Ocean biogeography
Objectives
-To establish a new biogeographic synthesis for the Southern Ocean, in particular through a GIS approach
On the basis of new CAML data and SCAR-MarBIN compilation of recent data, to develop more complete and accurate biogeographic schemes for the Southern Ocean, useful for scientific, conservation, monitoring and management purposes.
CAML / SCAR-MarBIN Biogeographic Synthesis Workshop Villefranche-sur-Mer May 2010

3. Synthesize the new Southern Ocean biogeography
Objectives
To analyze and synthesize biogeographic patterns
To analyze and synthesize biogeographic processes
To attempt analyzing and synthesizing the driving factors of spatial distribution by linking data on species occurrence and richness (hotspots, etc) to relevant macroecological, environmental and evolutionary context.

4. Synthesize the new Southern Ocean biogeography
Objectives
To elaborate a strategy for the selection of the
“CAML Legacy Sites”
To prepare the CAML Biogeographic Atlas
of the Southern Ocean

5. The CAML Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean
Synthetic document (paper + digital versions) compiling synthetic maps and (short) texts on:
SO environmental setting:
hydrography: water masses, currents, surface and bottom temperatures, etc
sediments
geomorphology
etc
