Session
1. North Pacific ecosystems today, and challenges in understanding and
forecasting change
Co-Convenors: John

Climate change and increasing development of coastal
areas and their watersheds are two of the most serious threats to marine
ecosystems in the North Pacific. It is probable that interactions between
these stressors will be complex and consequences unknown and difficult
to predict. Knowledge of the sensitivity and adaptability of natural
and managed ecosystems to climate change is limited and confounded by
the interaction of climate change with additional stressors such as
fishing, habitat loss, and pollution. While inter-annual and decadal
variability are dominant sources of climate variability in the North
Pacific, global warming is expected to contribute significantly to future
climate change. To improve our understanding of marine ecosystems of
the North Pacific, it is imperative we identify the contribution of
climate change to overall ecosystem change, and to strengthen our ability
to forecast how marine and coastal ecosystems will adjust or respond
to ongoing stresses from climate change and other human activities.
This symposium will focus on a series of major issues that are affecting
North Pacific marine ecosystems including, but not limited to: changes
in cycling of carbon and other elements, increasing acidification, decreasing
oxygen concentrations, eutrophication, chemical and biological pollution,
changing patterns of oceanic circulation, changes in the productivity
and distribution of species (including shifts in migratory routes),
shifts in species interactions, increased sea-level rise, and coastal
erosion. Ideally, the contribution of climate change to ecosystem characteristics
can be quantified and the information made available to the 5th assessment
of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scheduled for 2013-2014.
