From March 13-17, 2023, scientists representing both sides of the Pacific Ocean convened for the 2023 BECI Science Plan Development Workshop. The goal of this workshop was to prepare a draft, high-level BECI Science Plan to consider at the PICES Governing Council.
The 2022 BECI Workshop Series was developed to assess our present capacity to assess climate effects on ocean processes, biological effects, and fisheries. Over the course of a few months, experts from across the Northern Hemisphere participated in four workshops which encompassed a range of topics to develop the BECI Science Plan components.
