Our planet s fisheries have reached their ecological limits. As benefits from fisheries decrease, pressure grows to develop other sources of revenue, not necessarily compatible with ecosystem health. Policy and planning for ecosystem-based management must then be informed by knowledge of the interplay of human, biotic and environmental factors that affect ecosystem structure and function. Key requirements are sufficient time-depth to capture biodiversity, abundance and trophic structure prior to depletion, identification of the full range of benefits that healthy ecosystems provide to present and future generations and integration of the fine-scale knowledge of the maritime community with large-scale national and international fisheries management. The Fisheries Centre promotes multidisciplinary study of aquatic ecosystems and broad-based collaboration with maritime communities, government, NGOs and other partners. We believe that the social capital developed through collaboration and the intellectual capital that increased knowledge of ecosystem function and values represents can lead to the re-investment in natural capital necessary to conserve and restore aquatic systems. The Fisheries Centre is characterized by an exceptional degree of cooperation among its research units, including: Sea Around Us was established by Daniel Pauly to assess fisheries impacts at ecosystem, ocean basin and global level and find solutions to the challenges they pose. The results of this work are accessible on the web, offering ecosystem data, distribution maps and catch data for more than 1,000 species, historical trends and peer-reviewed publications. The Fisheries Economics Research Unit studies the economics of capture and aquaculture fishery resources. Under the guidance of Rashid Sumaila , the unit explores how ecosystems can provide sustainable and equitable economic and social benefits to both present and future generations, while maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Back to the Future, an integrative approach devoted to restoring aquatic ecosystems and ensuring that they are fished sustainably. Tony Pitcher and his team use historical and traditional knowledge, ecosystem simulations, participatory workshops that foster a sense of ownership, and ecological economics, biodiversity and employment measures to evaluate the tradeoffs of policy goals. Project Seahorse advances marine conservation by undertaking biological and social research, then applying its findings to the management of populations, habitats, fisheries, and trades. Amanda Vincent and the rest of the team are active around the world, using seahorses as flagship species for broad issues. Marine Mammal Research Unit led by Andrew Trites , conducts multidisciplinary research on marine mammals in the field, in captivity and in the laboratory. Members address pressing questions on the natural history, biology and conservation of marine mammals, and provide independent research and advice.
