FIXED PLATFORM

• Caged instruments beneath buoy• In line instruments with surface

floats and seabed anchor• U-shaped mooring• Tethered line• Spar buoy, Doughnuts, others• ‘Virtual’ moorings

ECOSYSTEM BASED MANAGMENT PIKICH ET AL., 2004 SCIENCE

Avoid degradation of ecosystems as measured by indicators of environmental quality and system status;

Minimize risk of irreversible change to communities and ecosystem processes;

Maintain long-term socioeconomic benefits without compromising the ecosystem;

Generate knowledge of ecosystem processes sufficient to understand the likely consequences of human action.

to “sustain healthy marine ecosystems and the fisheries they support “
