Kona IEA working group
meeting
PIFSC
May 24, 2016
What is an IEA?
An IEA is a formal synthesis and quantitative
analysis of information on relevant natural and
socio–economic factors in relation to specified
ecosystem management goals
There is a framework in place
Components: Scoping, data/drivers, modeling,
advising

NOAA Fisheries IEA Current Focus
Work Plan being finalized
• Data management and integration
• Data gaps
• Ecosystem models and socioeconomic modules
• Integrative indicators of ecosystem status
• Operational IEA within the California Current
• Management strategy evaluation
• Expansion into GoMex and NE Shelf

California Current (furthest along)
Implement an initial IEA in the California Current (CC)
—Establish data management and ecosystem-modeling
infrastructure
—Focus on a subset of drivers, pressures, and
management strategies that influence key
ecosystem management targets

Kona IEA Overall Objectives
Strawman vision: Provide evaluation of management
strategies and advice to promote a healthy,
sustainable and productive Kona region
—Integration of diverse ecosystem information
—Incorporate economic and social science data
—Evaluate benefits and risks to social and ecological sector
posed by management actions

Kona IEA meeting initial steps
IEA 5 step process
Scoping: What are our key
(ecosystem) management issues?

the system?
Monitoring of ecosystem
indicators and
management
effectiveness
Work plan: what needs to be done
and who will do it?
Risk Analysis
Assessment of
Ecosystem Status
Management
Strategy Evaluation

The Process
Determine key ecosystem issues
Incorporate relevant ecosystem information to prioritize
development of indicators
Determine targets and thresholds for managementrelated indicators (consistent with legislation)
Evaluate the relationships between pressure and status
indicators using appropriate research, models, and
forecasts
Provide routine reporting and updates on the status
