Abstract:  The models used to provide quantitative advice for the management of marine fish populations are evolving from a paradigm of individual research projects, to a paradigm of community-developed and centrally supported models to support high quality, standardized assessments and facilitate advancements in research. Here I will tie together four narratives regarding my involvement in this evolution. One is my 40-year history in the development and support of the Stock Synthesis assessment model. The second is the ten-year history of the Center for Advancement of Population Assessment Methods. Third is a new NMFS effort to build a next generation assessment model, Fisheries Integrated Modeling System, as a modular platform involving the efforts of team members from all Centers. Finally, I will reflect on the NOAA wide efforts to build models that link climate, oceanography, ecosystems, and managed species.
