To develop forecasts of ecological changes we need to: 1) increase to understanding of ecosystem composition, structure and functioning, 2) expand ecosystem monitoring and apply advanced scientific information to make these complex data widely available, and 3) develop and improve forecast and interpretative tools that use the scientific bases to assess the results of management and science policy actions." 517 $aEcological forecasting 606 $aEcological forecasting$zUnited States 606 $aEcosystem management$zUnited States 606 $aBiotic communities$xForecasting 606 $aMarine ecology$zUnited States 615 0$aEcological forecasting 615 0$aEcosystem management 615 0$aBiotic communities$xForecasting. 615 0$aMarine ecology 701 $aValette-Silver$b Nathalie J$01385135 701 $aScavia$b Donald$01385136 712 02$aNational Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (U.S.) 801 0$bOLA 801 1$bOLA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910694830703321 996 $aEcological forecasting$93432311 997 $aUNINA
