Details
As coastal landscapes change, management professionals are working hard to transition research results into actions that support scientifically informed decisions impacting coastal communities. This type of research faces many challenges due to competing priorities, but boundary spanning organizations can help mediate these conflicts by forming transdisciplinary collaborations. The National Sea Grant College Program (Sea Grant), a NOAA-based agency, is a networked organization of 34 university-based state programs that uses a three pronged approach of research, extension, andeducation to move academic research into the hands of stakeholders and decisionmakers. The objective of this study is to better understand strategies for successful research to application (R2A) projects that address complex environmental problems occurring in a socio-economic context. Specifically, this work examines R2A projects from the Sea Grant network to better understand the drivers for project development and common deliverables produced through the R2A process. We identify five common facilitating factors that enabled ‘successful’ R2A across all projects: platforms for partnerships, iterative communication, transparent planning, clear examples of R2A, and graduate student involvement. By providing examples of successful frameworks, we hope to encourage more organizations to engage in the R2A process. And here is a link to the publication.

Abstract: The Atlantic menhaden fishery is the largest, by volume, on the Atlantic Coast of the United States, and Atlantic menhaden are an important forage species for predators such as striped bass and bluefish. Driven by the competing interests for this stock, the last assessment process included both single and multi-species models, which allowed for addressing multiple management objectives and for development of ecological reference points.

Abstract:
For several years, the effects of climate and the environment on human health have been increasingly observed in several geographic regions through certain health outcomes (mortality, hospitalization). In a prevention perspective, warning systems are implemented by the public health authorities to intervene during episodes of extreme environmental events. In Quebec, the SUPREME system (Surveillance and Prevention of the Impacts of Extreme Meteorological Events on Public Health System) has been used for a decade. SUPREMME is a source of information that affords regional and departmental interveners in the public health network access, at a single site through a secure portal, to health and meteorological information concerning the health impacts of extreme weather events.
On the other hand, “health” alerts are only about heat and all-cause mortality, as well as with basic statistical approaches in general. It is therefore important to adapt to the specific health impacts that may be linked to other extremes such as extreme cold or air pollution, using appropriate methodologies (statistics and machine learning). In this talk, we focus on cold-mortality/hospitalisation system in Quebec and we briefly present a number of methodological developments and perspectives.
Bio(s):
Fateh Chebana is a professor at Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) and he has a PhD in Statistics from University of Paris. His main research focuses on statistical hydrology as well as environmental health with statistical approaches. In particular, he is interested in hydrological risk assessment with advanced approaches and more complex situations, as well as in developing environmental health-warning systems based on recent machine learning techniques.

Abstract: Corals reefs are threatened the world over by the rapidly rising temperatures associated with global climate change (GCC), as well as other insults of predominantly anthropogenic origin. In this presentation, I will first summarize work myself and my colleagues have been undertaking in recent years that address 1) charting and characterizing previously unstudied reefs (so that we know exactly what stands to be lost) and 2) the physiological implications of GCC on coral health. Then, I will discuss how I have been using the data from such field and laboratory studies, respectively, to develop artificial intelligence-driven models that enable us to identify resilient coral colonies (refugia). Although it may be too late to save many reefs, this novel capacity will allow us to enact coral reef triage, in which coral colonies and their respective habitats are scored along a physiological resilience spectrum (from highly stress susceptible to markedly resilient).

Description: The marine social sciences provide us with a diverse range of lenses to explore and understand people’s relationships with the sea. In addition, the expertise, skills, knowledge, and insight that can be gathered through marine social sciences are critical to effectively supporting sustainable ocean use and governance now and in the future. Launched in September 2018, the Marine Social Sciences Network (MarSocSci) is an international, interdisciplinary network to build community among and facilitate knowledge exchange between diverse stakeholders in the marine and coastal sector. MarSocSci provides a monthly newsletter, webinars, blogs, book clubs, and regional and thematic chapters. The network welcomes anyone with an interest in marine social sciences, including natural and physical scientists who want to know more about marine social sciences and are looking for collaboration opportunities. This webinar will discuss the importance of the marine social sciences, how the marine social sciences are being applied in different contexts, and ways the MarSocSci network supports the practice and application of the marine social sciences.

EECOM works strategically and collaboratively to advance environmental learning. We strive to ensure Canadians are environmentally literate… which means we’re engaged in environmental stewardship and contributing to a healthy and sustainable future.
EECOM acknowledges that the work of both our Board of Directors and our members occurs on Indigenous territories.
EECOM 2021 Conference: With most of the world’s population living in urban areas, helping citizens understand their impact on their environments is key to making cities more sustainable and livable. EECOM 2021’s theme is well-timed to address growing concerns about the climate crisis.

The Pathway Program is a technology development and testing program focused on identifying approved environmental monitoring solutions for ocean energy projects. It is a coordinated and focused partnership between industry, academia and regulators. Monitoring and reporting fish and marine mammal interactions with ocean-based devices is essential and approved monitoring solutions are critical to advancing the tidal energy industry.
Canadian-made solutions
Canada’s existing strengths in ocean instrumentation, data analytics and science support innovation. As a result of this program, Canadian suppliers will have new technology to sell globally to the tidal energy, offshore wind, and other sectors of the ocean economy.
Experience-driven success
Prior investments in research and marine monitoring in the Bay of Fundy means this program benefits from existing expertise and hands-on experience. Project developers and regulators are actively engaged in the program, which will help to:
- reduce time to regulatory approval for end-users
- lower financial risk to achieve regulatory approval for end-users
- lessen the cost of technology development for Canadian SME’s
- reduce operating expenditures via data automation
- test for reliability
- attain regulatory confidence
The OERA webinar series is hosted in Zoom.

Description: Marine protected areas (MPAs – areas of ocean that are protected for the long-term conservation of nature – are important tools for biodiversity protection, climate resilience, fisheries enhancement, and provide many benefits and services that people depend upon. In the face of the accelerating impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss, and increasing human pressures on the ocean, nations around the world have adopted a goal to protect at least 30% of the world’s ocean by 2030 through representative and effective networks of MPAs. In this webinar, speakers will provide an overview of the state of the science on MPA benefits, highlighting what we know about these important ocean conservation tools and the “why” behind the 30×30 goal. This webinar will help set the stage for a series of webinars focused on how the goal is being addressed in the United States, and speakers will highlight U.S.-based evidence and case studies where possible.
