Monitoring Marine Ecosystems

From NOAA Fisheries Service:

Keeping close tabs on the health of marine ecosystems is a task that is, like the oceans themselves, huge and difficult to manage. But this task might soon get a bit easier thanks to an international team of scientists led by Jason Link, NOAA Fisheries senior scientist for ecosystem management. 

Their research has unveiled underlying patterns in the way energy flows through marine ecosystems, which will allow for more rapid and effective ecosystem-based management in the face of changing climate and ocean conditions.
