1	Outline CAFÉ Workshop Update Dave: Interdecadal changes in cod/haddock growth MAB CPR Summer Plans Whales
2	CAFÉ Workshop Update CAFÉ 2006, Nov. 7-8, Portland, ME 24 participants from 3 countries
3	CAFÉ Workshop Update Day 1: Arctic Climate Influences on NW Atlantic Early & late 1990s FW anomalies Good evidence early anomaly came from Arctic, likely through Canadian Archipelago Late anomaly is better described in GoM/MAB, but origins are less clear Contrasted GoM plankton changes with Canadian Shelf Similar, but more winter-spring than fall-winter Day 2: Top-down vs. Bottom-up drivers Some interesting top-down linkages, but trophic cascade not supported by data Cod in Newfoundland are food limited
4	Gulf of Maine Time Series
5	Mid Atlantic Bight Zooplankton
6	Mid Atlantic Bight Zooplankton
7	Mid Atlantic Bight Zooplankton
8	First Impressions In general, strong similarities to GoM Inverse relationship between Calanus and Ctyp 80’s vs. ‘90s But Different species have strongest response (Ctyp vs. Metridia) No reversal in 2001 Some things to look at Calanus, Calanus, Calanus
9	Summer Plans Ocean Sciences session on “Arctic influences on Atlantic ecosystems” Continue CPR workup Hope to expand analysis to entire shelf 1D modeling of freshwater anomalies and phytoplankton blooms Plan for CAFÉ 2007
10	Right Whale, Wrong Time? Only 350 N. Atlantic right whales Recovery limited by mortality Ship strikes Fishing gear All management options depend on knowing where whales are
11	Cetacean Informatics
12	RWPS 1.0 Climatological circulation fields, initial conditions, boundary conditions No interannual variability SST and Chlorophyll from 1998-2004 Only source of interannual variability
13	Whales vs. Model
14	Whales vs. Model
15	Whales vs. Model
16	Implications for GLOBEC GLOBEC models are useful! Calanus abundance reflects conditions over previous months Even a little data is valuable
