Including Human Dimensions in Integrated Marine Ecosystem Models: Australian examples

摘要: With international efforts to develop ecosystem-based management of ocean uses, there has been a growing call for the development integrated assessment tools, including design models which can be used identify possible futures and evaluate alternative strategies. Along with this, is increasing recognition that such should include explicit representations human behaviour its drivers, as this key understanding potential responses economic, ecological regulatory changes. The presentation will use examples from Australia illustrate diversity approaches domains application in modelling developed, discuss some issues need considered developing these models. Examples whole-ofsystem models, Atlantis Australian South-East Fishery multiple applications In Vitro platform North-Western Australia, well highly spatial multi-species multi-fleet Effects Line Fishing Simulator Great Barrier Reef Ningaloo (Western Australia).
