AORA Working Group on the Ecosystem Approach to Ocean Health and Stressors (EA2OHS; outputs from 2018 meeting)

A host of tools exist to support trade‐off analysis in Ecosystem Based Management (EBM). Improving understanding of the process leading to successful development and uptake of these tools was a central aim of the Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance (AORA) Tools for Ecosystem Based Management workshop, which took place in May 2018, Montreal, Canada. The AORA working group on the Ecosystem Approach to Ocean Health and Stressors has convened a number of workshops to explore mechanisms to enhance the uptake of science for EBM and potential alignment of research priorities in the North Atlantic.
