Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
| EURO-BASIN is designed to advance our understanding on the variability, potential impacts, and feedbacks of global change and anthropogenic forcing on the structure, function and dynamics of the North Atlantic and associated shelf sea ecosystems as well as the key species influencing carbon sequestering and ecosystem functioning.
The project is also the European branch of the International BASIN Program and will aim to strengthen collaboration between the EU, Canada and USA to improve basin-sclae ocean research and strewardship by the bordering states. THE CHALLENGE: The North Atlantic Ocean and its contiguous shelf seas are crucial for the ecological, economic, and societal health of both Europe and North America. The basin`s ecosystems support major fisheries, and are an important for sequestation of green house gases. The challenge for EURO-BASIN (EUROpean Basin-scale Analysis, Synthesis & INtegration) is, in collaboration with US and Canadian partners, to better understand the basin-scale processes impacting upon these ecosystems. from natural climate change to anthropogenic pressures. OBJECTIVES: The overarching objectives of the EURO-BASIN initiative are to understand and predict the population structure and dynamics of key plankton and fish species of the North Atlantic and shelf seas, and assess the impacts of climate variability on North Atlantic marine ecosystems and their goods and services. The project will develop understanding and strategies that will ultimately contribute to improve and advance management of North Atlantic marine ecosystems following the ecosystem approach. |
