Ecosystem and Socioeconomic Profile Model Workshop

The Ecosystem and Socioeconomic Profile or ESP is a standardized framework that facilitates the integration of stock-specific ecosystem indicators and socioeconomic factors into the stock assessment and management process.

About

Note: In-person participation for this workshop is now filled. Remote participants may join via Webex, see the ESP 2020 Workshop Agenda (PDF) for details.

This is the second of three planned workshops to develop and implement the Ecosystem and Socioeconomic Profile process at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The primary goals of this workshop are to

  1. Review the ESP framework, current and new priority ESPs, data accessibility for ESPs, and Council recommendations regarding improving ESPs and use in management decisions,
  2. Discuss and generate guidelines for ESP modeling applications from simple indicator development and analysis to advanced multi-species, climate-enhanced models,
  3. Foster communication and collaboration between programs and discuss the process for ESP contributions, timeline, and avenues for improvement, and
  4. Review the first data workshop report, outline the second model workshop report, and prepare both for producing technical memorandum series and final workshop manuscript.
