Ideas for ecosystem synopsis snapshot #57

Open andrew-edwards opened 6 months ago

What would be included? Even just a one-pager would be useful?

rooperc4 commented 6 months ago

Time series name -

Time series description -

Time series figure

Plain language effect (like PDO reflects temperature and all things temperature related)

Published linkages to species:

OR, a species-specific one. I just made this comment in a national EAFMWG meeting (and people like it):

I have an idea to add to our pacea R package of ecosystem variables a function like: 

ecosystem_summary(species = "herring")

that will churn out relevant figures and maybe some text for a species-specific summary.

Assessment scientists can then see up-to-date information very easily and incorporate into their assessment document (and/or model) as appropriate. Easy to update.

Could start with herring, based on the findings of Jennifer's manuscript.

Summary of Teams chat with Jennifer, Chris, and Jaclyn.

Converged on the idea of:

  1. a species-specific summary (just some figures to start with)
  2. a more general ecosystem summary
  3. a meeting once a year to discuss the general picture. Maybe April would be good, after SOPO.

In more detail:

  1. Something like ecosystem_summary(species = "herring") that will churn out relevant figures and maybe some text for a species-specific summary that can be presented at a meeting or included in a Working Paper as appropriate. It would be up-to-date and easy to update each year.

  2. Also value in having a general understanding of the state of the ecosystem, because, inevitably, something in the ecosystem could change that wasn't originally identified as important to the species but that suddenly becomes very important. Even just a one-pager with time series and fancy arrows like the GOA do. Easy to update every month or so.

  3. A formalized, annual meeting among stock assessment authors (and others) to discuss/implement, etc. something akin to a plan team, lead by stock assessment authors. exchange of info, co-develop things, discuss issues/advances, etc. Likely only works if there is stock assessor involvement. If its just ecosystem people talking to each other, then its not as good. Even more broadly (beyond just EAFM) -a formalized, stock assessment author-driven group/meeting - with mandatory participation. The stock assessment authors could meet and present their latest assessment (past or upcoming). There could be all sorts of topics for discussion, but this could also include a summary of the state of the ecosystem, how authors are starting to think about this subject, etc. It could also be a place where there is discussion about other assessment issues (model fitting, R code, etc). Check with Robyn's renewal group. And make sure to get assessment people who have upcoming assessments, to help them include EVs.
