  1. Marine Systems Knowledge Cooperative Convened by NOAA

  2. Context of This Alternative • Management of human uses are fragmented along jurisdictional lines. • Ecosystem-based approaches are generally implemented through separate agencies. • This alternative builds on National Ocean Council Priority Objectives

  3. What is the focus? • Build a more systematic approach: • Understanding change • Predicting change • Build knowledge base to understand and manage trade-offs

  4. Who collaborates? • NOAA convenes an advisory group • Marine Systems Knowledge Cooperative • Participants • Federal and state agencies • Tribes and Alaska Native organizations • Local governments and boroughs • Canadian and Russian interests • Science and indigenous knowledge working group • NGOs

  5. How does cooperation occur? • Establish a research cooperative • Draft set of priority research questions • Work plan for: • Integrated assessment of baseline conditions in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas • Use existing authorities

  6. Why establish Knowledge Cooperative? • Understanding baseline conditions will help understand: • Ecosystem • Resilience • Vulnerability • This information will help make informed decisions

  7. Meetings and Process • Meet twice a year • Additional meetings called by the chair as needed • Establish Scientific and Traditional Knowledge Working Group

  8. Science and Traditional Knowledge Working Group • Synthesize efforts of agencies and organizations • Keep track of monitoring • Coordinate efforts with the Canadian Beaufort Sea Partnership and Russian scientists • Use other experts as necessary

  9. Why Collaborate? • Coordinate and prioritize research • Build a stronger knowledge base • Scientific knowledge • Local and traditional knowledge • Understand resilience of ecosystems • Avoid incompatible activities • Build trust among communities and other stakeholders

  10. How are conflicts resolved? • Strive for consensus • Majority vote when necessary • Reports of the Science and Traditional Knowledge Work Group Published independently
