Field research activities cover from near-shore island-associated ecosystems such as coral reefs, to open ocean ecosystems on the high seas. Research focus includes: oceanography, coral reef ecosystem assessment and monitoring, benthic habitat mapping, and marine debris research and removal. Analysis of the current structure and dynamics of marine environments, as well as examination of potential projections of future conditions such as those resulting from climate change impacts are assessed with use of numerical ecosystem models. Because humans are a key part of the ecosystem, the ESD includes research of the social and economic aspects of fishery and resource management decisions. The ESD also provides scientific and capacity building support to international organizations. language code: en Date=2018-03-29 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC/ESD [e70ba1f9-0c6a-4a8b-8d67-47cdd08173bf,367451] - NOAA [c9003d36-020d-4e86-995a-498945576c23,337219] Date=2018-03-29 User Id=tstevens Entity=Resource Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Resource New Value=id: null type: provider url: https://www.pifsc.noaa.gov/ecosystem_sciences/ The Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) conducts multidisciplinary research, monitoring, and analysis of integrated environmental and living resource systems in coastal and offshore waters of the Pacific Ocean.
