The Pacific Islands region convenes an annual climate science workshop to identify regional climate-related questions and solutions.
The second Annual Collaborative Climate Science Workshop connects staff and advisors from NOAA Fisheries, NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, and the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council. The goal of this workshop is to align management needs with available climate science and resources.
This workshop is a component of the Pacific Islands Regional Action Plan for climate science. The five-year plan includes steps to better track, forecast, and incorporate information on changing conditions into marine resource management. This will provide managers with the timely information they need to reduce impacts from a changing climate and to increase the resilience of fish stocks, fishing-dependent communities, protected species, and habitats.
