Abstract: Implementing fisheries management systems can face resistance due to a perception of insufficient data and other management resources or skepticism of the ability to engage with and inspire compliance by fishers. Adaptive, Implementable Management (AIM) addresses these barriers by making fishery objectives the top consideration and then using as much science as is available to help achieve them. AIM further engages fishing communities by establishing rules for immediate action and committing to revisit and adjust these actions to better-achieve objectives. These concepts will be illustrated by applying them to several fisheries systems.

Keywords: fishery management systems, supplement to Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management

About the Speaker: For more than two decades, Dr. Nowlis has performed science and provided scientific advice to make environmental policies more effective and efficient for NOAA and NOAA partners around the globe. He applies lessons learned from a Ph.D. in Ecology from Cornell University and a Master’s in Economics from Stanford University. More than any other subject, he specializes in making analysis of complex systems useful and understandable to scientists and non-scientists alike.

Recordings: Recordings will be shared 24 hours after the event on the NOAA Central Library YouTube channel.
