On The Road

Abstract Gårdmark, A., Nielsen, A., Floeter, J., and Möllmann, C. 2011. Depleted marine fish stocks and ecosystem-based management: on the road to recovery, we need to be precautionary. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 212–220. Precautionary management for fish stocks in need of recovery requires that likely stock increases can be distinguished from model artefacts and that the uncertainty of stock status can be handled. Yet, ICES stock assessments are predominantly deterministic and many EC management plans are designed for deterministic advice. Using the eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) stock as an example, we show how deterministic scientific advice can lead to illusive certainty of a rapid stock recovery and management decisions taken in unawareness of large uncertainties in stock status. By (i) performing sensitivity analyses of key assessment model assumptions, (ii) quantifying the uncertainty of the estimates due to data uncertainty, and (iii) developing alternative stock and ecosystem indicators, we demonstrate that estimates of recent fishing mortality and recruitment of this stock were highly uncertain and show that these uncertainties are crucial when combined with management plans based on fixed reference points of fishing mortality. We therefore call for fisheries management that does not neglect uncertainty. To this end, we outline a four-step approach to handle uncertainty of stock status in advice and management. We argue that it is time to use these four steps towards an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management.

Development Cycle

Abstract Spatial considerations are important at multiple stages in the development of a deep-sea mining (DSM) project, from resource definition, to identification of preservation and management zones within a contract area, to planning of suitable ecological strata for baseline studies and impact assessment, to mine planning and adaptive management. Large investments are made to collect remote sensing data early in exploration to support geological resource studies, but environmental considerations are often instigated at later stages of exploration and can become disconnected from spatial frameworks. We outline a process of harmonizing the environmental and geological aspects of DSM project development by incorporating a habitat approach early in the development cycle. This habitat approach supports ecosystem-based management, which is a central requirement of environmental assessments. Geostatistical techniques are described that are used alongside a hierarchical classification scheme to describe and map geoforms and substrates. This foundational habitat model can form the basis of spatially explicit ecosystem models and can inform sampling design and spatial planning at critical junctures of a project development, ensuring that sampling campaigns are connected by an ecosystem logic early in the cycle. We provide an example application from the NORI-D polymetallic nodule exploration contract area in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.
