DAY 1 – Wednesday, November 3, 2021: Plankton in policy: How can we best use plankton to inform ecosystem assessments?
- Discussion of the value of plankton (ecological, biogeochemical, economic, recreational)
- Plankton Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and ecosystem assessments - Anthony Richardson, Lavenia Ratnaraj and Ana Lara-Lopez
- What are ecosystem assessments?
- Plankton EOVs – biomass and diversity
- Case studies that include plankton in ecosystem assessments
- How might be we best use plankton as EOVs?
- What are we using plankton indicators for?
- What examples do we have of using plankton indicators from different parts of the world?
- How can we move plankton EOVs forward?
DAY 2 – Thursday November 4, 2021: Plankton in management: How can we best use plankton in models?
- What are the main types of plankton data and their limitations? - Jason Everett
- Plankton in models - Heidi Pethybridge, Jenny Skerratt, Tyler Rohr
- Approaches to standardising plankton data for use in models - Anthony Richardson:
Use of conversions; Use of statistical models
Making plankton data more useful for modelling
What examples do we have of using plankton data in models from different parts of the world?
How can we improve conversion tables/equations?
What are the different ways in which we can validate model output using plankton data?
How can we stimulate plankton uptake in models?
