Description:In 2016 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) enacted the NOAA Fisheries Climate Science Strategy (Link et al., 2015) as part of its proactive approach to better track, forecast, and incorporate information on changing climate conditions into living marine resource management. Drivers and impacts of climate change vary greatly by geographic location. Therefore, the strategy is being implemented through customized 5-year Regional Action Plans for climate science (RAPs). These RAPs detail regional climate science needs and specific action items to address them. By creating action plans at the regional level, NMFS is tailoring its response to meet specific climate challenges and forging critical partnerships at the local level.
Prior to this year’s workshop, steering committee members from PIFSC worked with their staffs to identify 3–4 ongoing projects per session theme (see below) that aligned with the priorities identified during the 2nd Workshop (Woodworth-Jefcoats et al., 2019). Session-specific project overviews were delivered by project leads at the start of each session. Workshop participants then broke into small groups to discuss each project. Sufficient time was allotted to allow all participants to discuss each project. Following small group discussions, participants reassembled for a plenary evaluation exercise that allowed them to rate the degree to which each project’s science meshed with current management needs. The ranking scale included three options: not at all, somewhat, and completely. In keeping with previous workshops, each session focused on a specific ecological management component: Session 1: Protected species; Session 2: Essential fish habitat and corals; Session 3: Pelagic fisheries; Session 4: Insular fisheries.
