The following key questions will be treated at the workshop:

Fisheries and Climate

• Which is the nature of links between marine physical parameters and fish populations/fisheries?
  
• Which of these links are established and how is it possible to incorporate them into simple as well as complex models?

Fisheries and the Local and Regional Economy

• What is the role and importance of fisheries for local/regional economies, and which methods can be best used to model this relationship?

• Which approaches are applicable to extract measures of vulnerability and elasticity of these economies with respect to climate driven changes of fisheries?

Stakeholder Issues

• What can DAMOCLES and SEARCH do for stakeholders?
  
• What could be the role of modelling for stakeholders?
  
• Is there a prediction potential with respect to fisheries relevant data for fishermen, or for the local/regional economy?
  
• Do necessary and possible timescales of prediction overlap?
