National Ecosystem Modeling Workshops

National Ecosystem Modeling Workshops were designed as a NOAA Fisheries-wide effort to examine our ecosystem, biophysical and multispecies modeling approaches. These workshops, analogous to National Stock Assessment Workshops and National Economists Meetings, seek to explore the establishment of ecosystem modeling standards of use and review for living marine resource management applications.  

Summary reports of past workshops can be found at the links listed below.
