A major challenge to managers and scientists is to identify ways that oceans can provide food and other services in a sustainable way under changing climatic and socioeconomic conditions. As physical, biological and socioeconomic factors interact at several levels, cross-disciplinary approaches are needed to meet this challenge. This Nordic project will (1) evaluate climate effects on Nordic marine ecosystems, (2) Build new tools for predicting biological consequences of climate change, and (3) quantify impacts on profit, employment, and harvesting of cod. This will be achieved through the work of 16 PhDs, 4 postdocs, 1 climate scientist, and the combined expertise of 45 senior scientists located at 10 institutions in 8 Nordic countries.
