SPACC
Definition
- The objective of International GLOBEC's Small Pelagic fish And Climate Change program, (GLOBEC SPACC) is to identify linkages between the driving physical forces that control population growth of small pelagic fish populations. The long range goal is to forecast how changes in the pattern and intensity of these forces, caused by elevated greenhouse gases and global warming, will alter the productivity of small pelagic fish populations. Toward that end, fifty-four scientists met in La Paz, Mexico in June 1994 to begin developing a science plan for GLOBEC SPACC. Attendees represented interests in the fields of physical and biological oceanography, numerical modeling, zooplankton ecology, remote sensing technology, paleoecology, genetics, early life history of fishes, and population dynamics. The scientists recognized that the GLOBEC SPACC goal requires highly multi-disciplinary, cooperative research and approached this challenge with enthusiasm. They also recognized the need t! o work together on shared stocks. They expressed their interest in developing regional (e.g. Humboldt Current, California Current, Patagonian Shelf, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean ) as well as national SPACC projects.
