Symposium: Climate Change and <strong>Conservation</strong> of Marine Species: Bridging the Gap Between<br />
Ecology, Climate Science and Policy. Session I<br />

The purpose of this symposium is to bring climate scientists, ecologists, and policy makers together to discuss the challenges<br />
associated with understanding the effects of climate change on marine organisms and incorporating climate impacts into<br />
management decisions. A key scientific challenge to incorporating climate into regional ecosystem impacts assessments is<br />
translating global climate model projections to regional and local scale climate changes. As advances are being made to downscale<br />
global climate models and incorporate this in<strong>for</strong>mation into ecological models, strengths and weaknesses in model projections<br />
must be carefully conveyed to managers, policy-makers, and the public. We have assembled a list of speakers who have<br />
confronted these challenges successfully. Talks will range from specific case studies addressing scientific and policy challenges to<br />
meta-analyses of global climate trends in marine systems. We will conclude with talks presenting the latest ef<strong>for</strong>ts to incorporate<br />
climate change into mitigation, adaptation, and protected species applications.<br />
