East Coast Climate Change Scenario Planning - Biological Drivers of Change Webinar (2/23/22)

East coast fishery management organizations are collaborating on a climate change scenario planning initiative. The goals of this project are to assess how climate change might affect stock distribution and availability of East Coast marine fisheries over the next 20 years and to identify the implications for fishery management and governance. In early 2022, stakeholders were invited to attend a series of three webinars which explored the various forces driving change in East Coast fisheries. This second webinar, held on February 23, 2022, focused on biological drivers of change, including changes in the geographic range, distribution, and productivity of stocks, as well as changes in habitat, predator/prey relationships, and other ecosystem dynamics.
