The two major international marine science organizations
in the northern hemisphere, ICES (International Council for the
Exploration of the Sea) and PICES (North Pacific Marine Science
Organization), are focused on different oceans but have in common
many scientific issues. In the past 10 years, there have been significant
increases in reciprocal exchanges, cooperative sponsorships of scientific
meetings and projects, and deeper linkages that have often developed
on a case-by-case basis. The objective of this Study Group is to
develop a formal framework for cooperation between ICES and PICES
to serve as the basis for linkages of our science plans and longer-term
strategic planning.
The Study Group intends to:
Study Group members will review their organization’s
existing and planned scientific activities to identify scientific
themes that could potentially benefit from the other’s
involvement in these activities;
Lists of potential areas of cooperation will be exchanged by
September 2010;
A meeting/workshop will be convened after documents are exchanged
in spring 2011 to:
a)
Improve understanding of the science activities
of each organization;
b)
Review scientific topics from TOR(1) to identify areas
of common interest;
c)
As an example of recent cooperation, review progress of
the joint Working Group on Forecasting of Climate Change
Impacts on Fish and Shellfish (WG-FCCIFS) established
in 2008;
d)
Develop a framework for cooperation between ICES and PICES
that lists categories of joint activities and the rationale
for each, including the benefits to each Organization from
the joint activity; identify priorities for joint activities
within categories;
e)
Recommend processes for implementing TOR(3d);
f)
Recommend approaches to develop a strategic plan for cooperation
and mechanisms to periodically update that plan.
The Co-Chairmen will prepare a final Study Group report for
distribution by the P/ICES Secretariats by August 2011.
