RARGOM Theme Session
November 15, 2006
Development of Ecosystem Indicators for Multiple
Management and
Research Needs
8:30am - 4:30pm, first talk 9:00am
Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, Wells, Maine
A collaboration with the Gulf of Maine Council Ecosystem
Indicators
Partnership

Online
RARGOM, the Regional Association for Research on the Gulf of
Maine,
will convene a workshop focusing on the science, development and
application of ecosystem-related regional indices. This session
builds
on the 2004 Northeast Coastal Indicators Workshop and other related
forums to examine the state of the art, define multiple management
needs, and facilitate methods of comparison for indices representing
a
variety of Gulf of Maine habitats. The workshop will touch upon the
chemical, physical, biological, geological and socio/economic factors
that affect the ecosystem, and contrast how indices reflect specific
measures versus overall ecosystem health. Participants will be
encouraged to identify the distribution and condition of regional
habitats for assessment, protection and restoration, consider methods
to combine various data types, and comment on the level of detail and
specificity required to achieve index development goals.
Registration: Register
Online.
