Future Oceans and Fisheries

The Future Oceans and Fisheries Working Group investigates how climate change and resource use shape tropical marine ecosystems, fisheries, and livelihoods through integrated socio-ecological modeling and scenario analysis. The group uses marine ecosystem models to explore sustainable fisheries strategies and pathways to resilient tropical food systems.

By combining the expertise of these research groups, TropEcS establishes an integrated framework connecting physical dynamics, ecosystem processes, and Earth system components across scales. The research of these groups will be complemented by additional insights from social scientists, economists, and biogeochemists to further enrich the representation of tropical coastal systems and support a scientific foundation for more sustainable and resilient coastal management.
