... The goal of the workshop will be to identify research opportunities that will help design and evaluate solutions that meet the three goals: to protect effectively, produce sustainably, and prosper equitably. Potential topics could include the following: • Linking of new classes of ecosystem measurements to coupled natural–hu man management models to better inform ecosystem-based management; • Incorporation of Indigenous knowledge into the restoration and protection of coastal ecosystems and into the fishing and aquaculture processes that rely on these ecosystems; • Diversification of participation, target species, and production systems in the aquaculture industry; • Adaptive management of social-ecological systems that enables both ecosystem and economic services in a changing ocean to ensure resilient coastal communities; • Identification of educational opportunities to promote ocean literacy and equitable access to ocean science and resources; • Demonstration projects for ecosystem-based resource management and habitat restoration to reduce coastal flood impacts; and • Strategies for fishery management that incorporate climate-driven envi ronmental change to foster sustainable practices and food security.
