Synopsis (short abstract) As part of the EAF-Nansen Programme activities, a workshop was organized on ecosystem characterization at the FAO Headquarters in Rome from 21 to 23 August 2018. The workshop aimed at identifying relevant ecosystem characterization approaches for data limited areas, defining best-practice methods for ecosystem characterization in data limited regions and how these should be applied, suggesting how this knowledge can feed into decision-making at tactical and strategic levels, defining how uncertainty in the methods can be taken into account and communicated, and understanding existing challenges and ongoing efforts in targeted regions that may be of relevance to ecosystem characterization. The expected outputs of the workshop were a report describing best methods/approaches for ecosystem characterizations in data-limited regions and an action plan for future case studies in two regions.

    The EAF-Nansen Programme, a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Norway, and various regional and national partners, promotes sustainable fisheries management through scientific research and data collection. Since 1975, the Programme has employed the research vessel Dr. Fridtjof Nansen to gather unique data on marine resources and ecosystems, contributing to the monitoring and assessment of fisheries while addressing global challenges like biodiversity conservation and climate change. Between 2017 and 2023, the EAF-Nansen Programme conducted 62 research surveys involving over 650 scientists, discovered 24 new species, and developed science-based fisheries management plans benefiting nine countries. The state-of-the-art Dr. Fridtjof Nansen research vessel not only gathers data but also serves as a training platform for researchers and early-career scientists. From 2017 to 2023, the Programme trained over 800 individuals in fisheries management, stock assessment, and research, significantly enhancing the capabilities of partner countries. The Programme's extensive data collections from marine areas worldwide are accessible to member countries and stakeholders through an online metadata portal. Moving forward, from 2024 to 2028, the EAF-Nansen Programme will intensify efforts to improve food and nutrition security, with a strong focus on adapting fisheries management to the impacts of climate change.
