Description:

"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and Marine Mammal Commission (MMC) convened a workshop in January 2016 to determine to what extent it is plausible to project climate-related changes in marine mammal distribution and relative abundance based on existing modeling practices and the current state of marine mammal science, and to identify the methodologies available and their limitations. The five workshop objectives were to: a) explore modeling or other means to assess future changes in distribution and abundance of marine mammal species; b) identify metrics relevant to assessing physical changes and biological responses of marine mammals; c) identify one or more exemplar species/population(s) for assessing methodologies or metrics; d) identify next steps for performing these studies; and e) produce draft and final reports of the findings"--Executive summary.
