WP-4 Tasks identified D4-1 • WP3 input on indicators from initial assessment + new developments • for inclusion in current ecosystem models and to evaluate the capability of the models to capture the indicator • L ink biodiversity to food-webs indicators D4-3 • Data call with WP6 - for activity+habitat layers • Med trawl data required – contact GES working group • BTA: work in co-operation with FP7 Benthis (Helena (IMAR) to visit Cefas) • Data to made available at species list level (for BTA+connectivity data call) • Genetic data where possible for more advanced analyses (contact AZTI) D4-3 • Chris/Chiara/Natalie/others hold an internet meeting march-2013 • Tasks 4.2.2 and 4.3.4 to be discussed further to define sub-tasks and approach

D4-2 Report describing spatial ecosystem models (2) 31 August 2015 (but aim for final report April 2015) Task 4.3.2: Identify relevant spatial and temporal scales for traits IMAR , Partners: CNRS, JRC, PML, CEFAS, AU (links to FP7 Benthis) Milestone MS 17 - fuzzy analysis complete - files on web – month 32 end Jun 2015 Work in co-operation with FP7 Benthis (Andy Kenny and Julie Bremner, Helena IMAR to visit Cefas) Data to made available at species list level (along with connectivity data call) Joint analyses led by IMAR Task 4.3.5: Modelling of marine connectivity and biod across regional seas AZTI , Partners: CNRS, PML, HCMR, MHI-NASU [ limited ], DEU, CONISMA Milestone MS 18 – indices for each area - files on web – month 24 end Oct 2014 Data to made available at species list level (along with traits data call) Genetic data where possible for more advanced analyses (contact AZTI)
D4-3 Report on the analysis of reference levels for indicators of biodiversity for selected pilot areas to input into WP6 31 October 2015 Task 4.2.2: Modelling reference or target levels CEFAS , Partners: AZTI, PML, JRC 1. Where suitable ecosystem models exist (e.g. North Sea, Med Sea): potential levels modelled on current state, pressures and climate [Indiseas] 2. Statistical approaches to link indicators/fishing/climate 3. Biodiversity-productivity threshold (Axel) Task 4.3.4: Interactions between climate change, physical forcing and biodiversity CNRS , Partners: IMAR, JRC, NIOZ, PML, CEFAS, MHI-NASU Create sub-tasks here Tasks 4.2.2 and 4.3.4 to be discussed further Chris/Chiara/Natalie/others by internet meeting march-2013 Task 4.3.1: Utility, applicability, relevance of indicators from multiple traits IMAR , Partners: CNRS, AZTI, JRC, PML, CEFAS, AU Task 4.3.2: Identify relevant spatial and temporal scales for traits IMAR , Partners: CNRS, JRC, PML, CEFAS, AU Task 4.3.3: Model relationship between taxonomic/functional composition IMAR , Partners: CNRS, JRC, PML, CONISMA, CEFAS Work in co-operation with FP7 Benthis (Tasks 4.3.1-3 ,Julie Bremner)
D4-4 User interfaces available - 30 April 2016 Ecoreach Partners: CEFAS, OceanDTM, CNRS, JRC, IMAR, HCMR, PML Task 4.3.1: Model outputs and results will be made accessible to stakeholders and end-users through applications for smart-phones and tablet The partners will provide material to fulfill the applications Milestone MS 19 – interfaces available on web – month 41 end Mar 2016 Ideas model outputs to engage public smart-phone apps – to visualise habitat and expected communities in sea? smart-phone apps – gaming ? smart-phone apps – explore biodiversity across spatial scales?
