SSC Ecosystem Subcommittee September 4 & 8, 2020 online meeting agenda

Purpose of the meeting

The purpose of the SSC Ecosystem Subcommittee meeting is to review items from the California Current Integrated Ecosystem Assessment program that may inform future annual reports to the Pacific Council on the state of the California Current Ecosystem.  Specifically, the SSC Ecosystem Subcommittee will review the following four items (the first two on Friday, September 4 and the last two on Tuesday, September 8): 1) California Sea Lion Pup Growth as an Indicator of Forage Conditions, 2) Natural Origin Central Valley Fall Chinook Stock Indicator, 3) Habitat Compression Index, and 4) Port-specific Revenue Indices.  The SSC Ecosystem Subcommittee will consider recommending summaries of these ecosystem indicators be included in future state of the California Current Ecosystem reports to the Pacific Council.

No management actions will be decided by the SSC’s Ecosystem Subcommittee.  The SSC Ecosystem Subcommittee members’ role will be development of recommendations and a report for consideration by the SSC and Pacific Council at their March 2021 meeting in Seattle, Washington.
