Report of the Workshop on Introducing Coupled Ecological-Economic Modelling and Risk Assessment into Management Tools (WKIMM)

The workshop held at Kiel University (D), 16–18 June 2010, aimed to review regional examples of state-of-the-art in ecological-economic modelling in fisheries science and to identify ways for further development and integration in relation to scientific fish stock and fisheries advice. It brought together economic and ecological researchers from eight different countries around the world from Europe over North America to Australia presenting theoretical and empirical work and structural issues. There are different approaches in different regions and some structures and processes are case specific. Some functions are transferable between regimes and case studies and thus of general interest.
