Model scenario studies with GETM-ERSEM-BFM can be used to improve understanding of effects of human actions on the planktonic and benthic ecosystems. As an example, results of a recent application to simulating potential effects of a marine renewable energy generation through large-scale tidal turbine deployment will be discussed (Van der Molen et al., 2015b).
The presentation will also touch on coupling a particle tracking model to simulate transport, survival and reproduction of the invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi (Van der Molen et al., 2015a), and on coupling a size-based fish model to study future fisheries yield (Van Leeuwen et al, 2016). The presentation will continue with a comparison of simulated phytoplankton functional types with recent in-situ data from the North Sea which demonstrates an emerging capability to address biodiversity-related questions (Ford et al., in prep.).
These examples demonstrate the versatility and utility of GETM-ERSEM-BFM to address marine management questions. The presentation will finish with an overview of the results of the MASTS-MSCC workshop to increase the uptake of ecosystem model results in policy development and management (Hyder et al., 2015). | |
