Abstract:
The Alaska Climate Integrated Modeling (ACLIM) project is a multidisciplinary collaboration to evaluate climate change impacts on Bering Sea fish and fishing communities and the performance of alternative management strategies under future climate scenarios. It connects research on global climate and socioeconomic projections to regional circulation, climate enhanced biological models, and socio-economic and harvest scenarios. ACLIM phase 1 revealed novel insights about the Bering Sea and helped map long-term change to near-term actions to reduce impacts. We will discuss results, lessons learned from the ACLIM approach, and future directions.� �
