1. Flow, Fish and Fishing 2006 All-Hands Meeting July 12-13 UCSB

2. The Proposal’s Bottom Line… Larval transport is a stochastic process driven by coastal stirring Fish stocks, yields & their assessment are affected by this & other stochastic forcings Management under this uncertainty must be accounted for in real & robust ways The key is following the flow of information

3. Flow Fish Settlement Habitat Recruitment Harvest Regulation Fishermen Market INFO Climate

4. F3 Proposal Hypotheses 1.Larval Settlement in Coastal Environments Interactions among coastal circulation & organism life cycles make larval settlement intermittent & episodic 2.Scales of Nearshore Fish Stocks Stocks are controlled by larval settlement, habitat, natural & fishing mortality and adult migration

5. F3 Proposal Hypotheses 3.Uncertainty, Information and Fishery Management Choice of the most effective management instrument depends on the quantity, quality and cost of information 4.Scale Disparity between Harvesting & Management Fish population dynamics, fishermen behavior and fishery management occurs on disparate space and time scales 5.Managing Mixed Species Fisheries Managing mixed fisheries is difficult, as the status of the slower-maturing species dictates management strategy

6. Overall F3 Goal Given sources of uncertainty & stochasticity… how can nearshore fisheries be managed that best balances fish stock viability, ecosystem quality & socioeconomic value?

7. F3 Approach 1. Build interdisciplinary team of experts 2. Develop process & realized models Spatial modeling of a nearshore fishery Modeling the value of information 3. Inform modeling with data

8. F3 Broader Impacts 1. Educational activities ORCA, SEASET, Bren MESM projects, EES- IGERT, our classes… 2. Global perspectives PISCO/Mellon, PISCO/CICESE, NCEAS, … 3. Graduate education

9. General Goals for the Meeting Get up to date on where we are for each component of the F3 project Talk thru the next steps age-size in stock modeling, heterogeneous space in flow modeling, fleet modeling and fishermen behavior, value of information, etc. Work towards integration We need to do this seriously…
