WITH BILLIONS OF PEOPLE RELYING ON FISH AS THEIR PRIMARY SOURCE OF ANIMAL PROTEIN HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE OCEANS ARE MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL (SDG) 14 AIMS TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE RESILIENT FISHERIES USING ECOSYSTEM-BASED MANAGEMENT APPROACHES. BY HARNESSING THE POWER OF SATELLITE EARTH OBSERVATIONS IN SITU BIOLOGICAL DATA AND CLIMATE MODELS WE PROPOSE TO INCREASE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE LINKED PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL OCEAN MEET SPECIFIED TARGETS AND INDICATORS ASSOCIATED WITH SDG 14 AND HELP THE U.S. AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS MAKE SCIENCE-BASED DECISIONS THAT CAN PROMOTE FISHERIES SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND CHANGE. THE OBJECTIVE OF OUR PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO HARNESS SATELLITE DATA TO DEVELOP APPLICATIONS THAT SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION OF MARINE SYSTEMS (TARGET 14.2) INCREASE THE PROPORTION OF EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONES (EEZ) MANAGED USING AN ECOSYSTEMBASED APPROACH (INDICATOR 14.2.1) AND SUPPORT EFFECTIVE FISHERY REGULATION AND HARVEST REGULATION BASED ON SCIENCE-BASED MANAGEMENT (TARGET 14.4 AND INDICATOR 14.4.1). WORKING WITH FISHERIES ON THE EAST AND WEST COAST OF THE U.S. WE WILL DEVELOP DYNAMIC OCEAN MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS THAT INTEGRATE SATELLITE DATA SPECIES DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION PREDICTIVE MODELLING AND FISHERY EFFORT TO PROVIDE FISHERIES MANAGERS AND RESOURCE USERS WITH INFORMATION TO SUPPORT CLIMATE-READY RESILIENT FISHERIES. THIS PROJECT WILL USE NASA REMOTE-SENSING IN SITU BIOLOGICAL AND FISHERY-BASED DATA STREAMS TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES PRIMARILY BY PROVIDING DIRECTLY APPLICABLE TOOLS TO INFORM FISHERY DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES FOR PELAGIC SPECIES WITHIN THE U.S. EEZ. THIS APPROACH WILL SYNTHESIZE REMOTE-SENSING AND MODELED OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA WITH AVAILABLE DATA ON MARINE SPECIES FROM SCIENTIFIC SURVEYS AND FISHERY DATA COLLECTION EFFORTS. THIS PROJECT LEVERAGES AND BUILDS ON RECENT INNOVATIONS IN INTEGRATED SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES ANALYSES AND DATA DELIVERY METHODS FROM FUNDED NASA AND NOAA RESEARCH. OUR PROJECT WILL DEVELOP ONLINE PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS THAT WILL ALLOW FISHERIES MANAGERS TO TRACK DYNAMIC DISTRIBUTIONS OF SPECIES OF INTEREST IDENTIFY FISHERY-RELEVANT CLIMATE ANOMALIES MONITOR FISHERY INTERACTION AND EXPLOITATION HOTSPOTS AND INTEGRATE CLIMATE PROJECTIONS INTO STRATEGIC PLANNING FISHERIES MANAGEMENT. THESE DELIVERABLES WILL DIRECTLY INFORM MANAGEMENT OF PELAGIC SPECIES IN THE U.S. EEZ AS WELL AS FISHERIES MANAGEMENT MANDATES OF INTERNATIONAL REGIONAL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION (RFMO) PARTNERS WHO SHARE HIGH SEAS RESOURCES WITH THE U.S. INCLUDING THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ATLANTIC TUNAS (ICCAT). OUR PRODUCTS AND THEIR INTEGRATION INTO AN ACCESSIBLE TOOLKIT FOR END USERS WILL DIRECTLY INFORM FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND PROVIDE THE BASIS TO TRACK PROGRESS TOWARDS SDG 14 USING THE DESIGNATED METRICS AND INDICATORS.
