Report of the Report of the ICES/BSRP/HELCOM Workshop on Developing a Framework for Integrated Assessment for the Baltic Sea (WKIAB)

WGIAB was setup as a forum for developing and combining ecosystem‐based man‐agement efforts in the Baltic Sea region. The approach of WGIAB is to assess the im‐pact of climate, fisheries and eutrophication on the ecosystem, hence not considering these  most  important  external  drivers  in  isolation.  WGIAB  therefore  is  intended  to  serve as a counterpart and support of the ICES Baltic Fisheries Assessment Working Group  (WGBFAS),  but  also  support  related  HELCOM  assessment  efforts  such  as  HELCOM BIO and FISH.
