Abstract
This report on the science requirements
for an Ecosystem Approach (EA) and Integrated Management of Biotic Ocean
Resources (BORs) has a central organizing theme and a unique identity, giving
equal attention to the science needed to understand the natural system, the
social system, and the governance system. It is these three systems,
functioning in a coherent and integrated manner, which will allow the European
Union to apply Integrated Management within an Ecosystem Approach to achieve
Good Environmental Status (GES), as required by the Marine Strategy Framework
Directive (MSFD). This report lays out the science needed to support these
efforts, and to make human activities in the seas ecologically, economically,
and socially sustainable.
