Abstract
A proposal for a Joint SC-CCAMLR IWC Workshop to develop multi-species models of the Antarctic marine ecosystem was proposed at the SC-CCAMLR 2014, and a steering group for the Workshop was formed.
WG-EMM 2015 agreed on the benefit of dividing the workshop into two; the first to review data availability, and the second as a comprehensive discussion of approaches in relation to modelling and monitoring. The steering group was tasked to develop a draft terms of reference for the workshops to be tabled to the meetings SC-CAMLR 2015 and SC-IWC 2015 for both committees to consider.
