The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has launched implementation of the Climate, Ecosystems and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI) to provide fisheries managers and fishing dependent communities with information to prepare for and respond to rapidly changing marine ecosystems. The CEFI will build a nation-wide Decision Support System (System) that links climate, ocean and ecosystem observations and modeling to provide robust future scenarios and actionable advice for climate-informed resource management and community adaptation. The System is composed of four components to ensure continuous innovation and operational delivery of information across multiple time and spatial scales. NOAA has launched development of the CEFI System with funding from the Inflation Reduction Act. The goal of this session is to provide information on the CEFI System, answer questions and get input on the System design, development and applications from prospective System users and partners.
