Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar - Dr. Emily S. Klein

The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar Announcement "From Stellwagen Bank to the Scotia Sea: Using models to support wise decisions in a changing world " Dr. Emily S. Klein Senior Postdoctoral Associate Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future Boston University Wednesday, December 2, 2020 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm via zoom Abstract: In a world of climate change and increasing human needs, how do we balance sustainable use of our oceans for both ecological and human well-being? Increasingly, systems models that include people, ecosystems, and the environment are a valuable tool in helping us navigate potential trade-offs and balance across human and ecological needs. My work has used such models to provide insight in systems as disparate as Stellwagen Bank and the Scotia Sea in Antarctica. Closer to home, climate change is increasing the strength and frequency of coastal storms, increasing demand for sand to re-nourished impacted beaches. Yet that same sand is home to sand lance (Ammodytes dubius), a little fish that is a critical prey for numerous other species important in our commercial fisheries. Along with colleagues, we use an ecosystem model to explore trade-offs between sand mining and sand lance, as well as indirect outcomes for other sectors including those commercial fisheries and the whale watching industry. In the Southern Ocean, Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, are also a key prey species for an array of charismatic predators, including whales and penguins, and support a significant international fishery. Here, we used another ecosystem model to examine trade-offs given ocean warming, fishing, and alternative management strategies including marine protected areas. Both projects provide needed insight to support management decisions, for federal agencies in charge of permitting sand mining here to the international consortium in charge of protecting the Southern Ocean, demonstrating direct links between cutting-edge science and on-the-ground management strategies. Brief bio: Dr. Kleins research involves understanding marine social-ecological systems through time by directly including human communities and applying diverse and innovative resources and approaches. She is also deeply concerned about increasing diversity and inclusion in science, work Dr. Klein hopes to advance as part of her career. She received her BSc from the University of California, San Diego, and a MSc and PhD in Natural Resources at the University of New Hampshire. Since her graduate work, she has held postdoctoral positions at Princeton University and with Southwest Fisheries Science Center, and is currently with the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University. Dr. Klein lives in an 1830s farmhouse in rural Vermont. ************************************************************************************ Topic: UMassD Fisheries Oceanography Seminars, Fall 2020 Join Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/95032521911?pwd=WnhZY1ZKRGdnQjBvWklGcU5nbkZJQT09 Meeting ID: 950 3252 1911 Passcode: 136809 One tap mobile +13126266799,,95032521911# US (Chicago) +16468769923,,95032521911# US (New York) Dial by your location +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) Meeting ID: 950 3252 1911 Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/azXxoOxWk ************************************************************************************ To view a video of an SMAST seminar (post-October 1, 2014), go to https://www.umassd.edu/smast/events/seminar-series/ and click on a highlighted title.
