Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Earths' changing climate and environmental stressors presentglobal problems for the sustainability of marine ecosystems and management ofmarine resources. Scientists, policy makers, Indigenous peoples, andcommunities, at regional, national and international scales, must work togetherto identify the best pathway to take care of the ocean. This includesdeveloping actionable science through interdisciplinary and transboundaryresearch, the inclusion of human dimensions in research and management, and theinclusion of policy and regulatory decision makers in science processes tobridge the science/policy interface. Interdisciplinary science collaboration isneeded to understand complex issues, such as the impacts of climate extremes onmarine resources and coastal communities, cumulative impacts of multiplestressors, changes in biodiversity, and the effectiveness of marine protectedareas. Recent advancements in research and monitoring tools, artificialintelligence, as well as social and economic -oriented investigations showpromise in improving our understanding of marine ecosystems and our ability toresolve socioeconomic and environmental conflicts. Key is the communication ofscience, along with uncertainty and risk, to policy and decision makers. Researchby PICES expert groups can feed into actionable science, such as projections,status assessments, and solution-based science. The PICES 2026 annual sciencemeeting will bring together early, mid, and late- career ocean professionals todiscuss, develop, and advance science that is actionable for a rapidly changing
