2. Going from the harvested species to human

society and back

Since 2011

MARine MAnagement and Ecosystem Dynamics under climate change

Is an Innovative Training Network funded by the Marie Skłodowska-

Our scientific challenge:

Investigating how the cumulative stress from biodiversity loss, climate

change and harvesting will affect Europe’s complex marine systems and

the consequences for optimal resource management

Our objectives:

- To increase the marine scientific knowledge base by integrating

traditionally separate scientific disciplines within a unified learning

platform.

- To train a new generation of innovative researchers with interdisciplinary

experience and skilled in promoting marine science to a wide audience.

The PhD students will be the link that insure cooperation

1 The importance of the Biodiversity – Ecosystem Functioning relationship for resilience and vulnerability of marine exploited fish populations to climate change and fisheries exploitation

2 Evaluating the ecosystem and socio-economic context of climate and fishing effects on cod

3 Economic reference points under climate change

4 Optimal exploitation of ecosystems

5 A trait-based approach for predicting fish community structure, function and services under climate change and exploitation

6 Fisheries reference points & stock assessment

7 A portfolio approach to operationalize ecosystem based management in European Fisheries

8 Economic value of enhanced fisheries management procedures

9 Size-based trophic interaction

10 Genetic structure of the Northeast arctic cod: impact of climate change?

11 Benthic food-web structure and function under environmental change

12 The importance of local habitats for maintaining structural and functional biodiversity in coastal ecosystems

13 Optimal harvesting under multiple stressors: a bioenergetics model for fishing and climate warming

14 Limits to northwards range shifts of fish stocks under climate warming

15 Future climate change scenario uncertainties in European regional seas

15 PhD students to be recruited before Mars 2016

The PhD students will also meet each years and exchange with their pairs and

scientists from other disciplines and other sectors.

Excellence 4.60/5.00

Weakness:

- The specific objectives are not fully detailed

Impact 4.80/5.00

Weakness:

-The contribution of the non-academic sector to the doctoral/research

training is focused mainly on secondments

Implementation 4.60/5.00

Weakness:

- The risk management strategy is not sufficiently described.

Evaluation Summary Report “MARmaED will thus create novel standards in the training of a new generation of multi-

disciplinarily skilled and creative marine scientists, fit to address Europe’s future

challenges.”
