PICES 2026 Annual Meeting
BECI at PICES-2026
Nanaimo, BC · October 24–30, 2026
The BECI team will be at PICES-2026 in Nanaimo. We’re looking forward to connecting with partners from across the North Pacific about the North Pacific Ocean Knowledge Network and how ecosystem status is reported across the region.
While we’re there, we’ll be:
- Co-sponsoring Workshop W7, Censusing Extreme Climate Events in the North Pacific with CLIVAR. The workshop, led by PICES Working Group 49, will build a framework for a North Pacific census of extreme climate events.
- Sharing progress on the North Pacific Ocean Knowledge Network
- Meeting with researchers and managers to discuss existing North Pacific ecosystem status reports, as part of our current review of these assessments
- Connecting with organizations interested in partnering with or supporting BECI
This webinar series is jointly hosted by the UN Ocean Decade Programs Blue Food Futures, Fisheries Strategies for Changing Oceans and Resilient Ecosystems (FishSCORE), Sustainability, Predictability, and Resilience of Marine Ecosystems (SUPREME), Sustainability of Marine Ecosystems through Global Knowledge Networks (SmartNet), and Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) and endorsed project Basin Scale Events to Coastal Impacts (BECI). This webinar series highlights current efforts and challenges at the climate-fisheries nexus. Presentations and discussions will range from data-driven efforts to better understand oceanographic and biological changes affecting fisheries, to how the results can be used to inform fisheries management, aquaculture, and sustainable food decisions, to the many ways people and broader communities are being impacted by and adapting to changes in marine ecosystems and marine resource use.
This webinar series occurs monthly. Please visit the FishSCORE website for more information and to register for upcoming webinars.
