Joint Webinar Series: Topics at the nexus of climate change, fisheries, and blue foods
The “Basin Scale Events to Coastal Impacts” initiative (BECI) aims to develop an Ocean Intelligence System for the North Pacific Ocean. This system will serve as an information network and decision support tool. Diverse data sets (e.g., climate, oceanographic, ecological) and advanced machine learning techniques will be used to predict the impacts of climate change on migratory fish in the region. The aim is that this information will be used to support forward-looking decision making for fisheries and communities in a changing climate.
Dr. Kathryn Berry, BECI Science Director, presented BECI’s innovative approach to developing an Ocean Intelligence System for the North Pacific.
