Large Vertebrate Working Group for Gulf of Maine Census of Marine Life
Document Actions
working group by invitation only.
The long-term adaptability and health of the Gulf of Maine ecosystem depends on its biodiversity at all levels: community, species and genetic. Ecosystem-based management is based upon biodiversity and the healthy functioning of the ecosystem, and a clear understanding of the human impacts upon it. This requires an assessment of biodiversity and its patterns; an understanding of the functional role of diverse organisms in the system; an understanding of how natural and anthropogenic forcing affects this diversity; and the ability to monitor and detect significant changes in the future.
The over-arching goal of the Gulf of Maine Census is to provide these assessments across all taxonomic levels, to enable ecosystem-based management of the Gulf of Maine.
