How is each center engaging stakeholders?. Responses ranged from little engagement with council / stakeholders to a great deal of formal interaction Almost universally there is not a current formal mechanism for uptake of EM-derived advice into management

Responses ranged from little engagement with council / stakeholders to a great deal of formal interaction • Almost universally there is not a current formal mechanism for uptake of EM-derived advice into management • IEAs and FEPs appear to provide a future mechanism for more formal engagement
Examples of high levels of engagement • --qualitative predictions of flatfish recruitment from biophysical model • --Ecosystem considerations chapter of the SAFE document presented to council as part of the TAC specification process • SWFSC-- in the Antarctic has a lead role in providing advice based on to CCAMLR • --high levels of interaction with council and other stakeholders regarding forecasts of salmon returns as a function of ocean conditions • --performance testing of ecosystem indicators for use by Puget Sound Partnership
Future Opportunities • Forage fish “set asides” • Management strategy evaluation for IEAs • FEPs • Interstate/intrastate agreements leading to increased EBM and EMs (e.g. Chesapeake, Puget Sound, various governors agreements)
Issues raised • Mismatch in scale or type of information between what EMs deliver and what stakeholders want • Are there standard products needed by all councils • IEAs require providing EM products to non-fisheries stakeholders (e.g. coastal zone managers). Not a lot of discussion about engaging the non-fish world (except forage fish issues)
