Workshop on Unavoidable Survey Effort Reduction 2 (WKUSER2)

摘要: The Workshop on Unavoidable Survey Effort Reduction 2 (WKUSER2) focused on best-available approaches that can minimize information loss and ensure continuity in survey time series when unavoidable changes to survey effort occur. WKUSER2 recognised that reductions, reallocations, or increases in survey effort present similar set of problems, and therefore concentrated on all aspects of survey effort changes. The workshop reviewed available research, current practices, and recommended future directions on four key topics:(i) key elements of flexibility of a survey,(ii) why and how to combine data from different sources (eg surveys, fishery sampling) and deal with survey gaps,(iii) how to configure estimation and simulation models, and (iv) review existing tools and technology to evaluate consequences of survey effort changes.
