RCN-SEES: SUSTAINABILITY OF MARINE RENEWABLE RESOURCES IN SUBARCTIC SYSTEMS UNDER INCUMBENT ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABILITY AND HUMAN EXPLOITATION Steering committee Lorenzo Ciannelli, Oregon State University Mary Hunsicker, Oregon State University Marty Anderies, Arizona State University Kevin Bailey, NOAA Fisheries Ken Frank, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada Colleen Webb, Colorado State University Network participants Paulinus Chigbu, University of Maryland, Eastern Shore Carmel Finley, Oregon State University Selina Heppell, Oregon State University Funding period: 2012 -2015 Students Allain Barnett, Arizona State University Clint Leach, Colorado State University Caren Barcelo, Oregon State University http: //www. marineresearchnetwork. org/

RCN objectives • The scientific goal is that of integrating basic eco-evolutionary and socio-economic principles to address the consequences of current and alternative policy practices in large and commercially exploited marine ecosystems • The educational goal of our network is that of training research and management scientists in the interdisciplinary fields of ecology, oceanography, evolution, sociology and conservation. Scientific activities 1. Sequential species depletion 2. Sequential spatial depletion 3. Sequential demographic depletion 4. Socio-ecological feedbacks Coordination 1. Annual meetings 2. International workshop 3. Bi-monthly phone conferences Educational activities 1. Research exchanges 2. Curriculum development 3. Summer academy Dissemination 1. Multi-authored review articles 2. Edited special issue 3. Web-site

Workshop on curriculum development Goals • Develop curriculum for a graduate level summer course on how to integrate socio-ecological principles in management and conservation practices • Generate ideas for course implementation • Develop outline for a multi-authored educational forum article Benefit of participating • Stimulate ideas and links for your own research and educational activities • Be a co-author on an Educational Forum article • Get involved with course delivery

Opportunities • In coming together we are breaking new grounds on curriculum development

Opportunities • In coming together we are breaking new grounds on curriculum development • Sustainability of marine resources provide many opportunities for interdisciplinary education We pulla da net to make da mon to buya da bread to getta strength to pulla da net Lament of the Italian fisherman From: ‘Sailing for salmon – the early years of commercial fishing in Alaska’s Bristol Bay 1884 -1951’

Challenges in interdisciplinary education Haapasari et al (2012) conclude that: ‘interdisciplinarity is a learning process that takes place at three levels: between individuals, between disciplines and between types of knowledge’ • Knowledge: Breadth vs depth • Skills: Developing a common language and set of tools • Attitudes: Means and opportunities for long-lasting collaborations
