The Project seeks institutions or individuals to implement a demonstration activity on “Assessing impacts of N:P:Si ratio change on the Yellow Sea ecosystem” in order to show the benefits of how information from harmonised long-term monitoring programmes can influence Yellow Sea marine environment management policies.

the Call For Expressions of Interest for this activity.

***The demonstration activity on “Assessing impacts of N:P:Si ratio change on the Yellow Sea ecosystem” should address the regional target of “better understanding and prediction of ecosystem changes for adaptive management.” This activity should show the benefits of how information from harmonised long-term monitoring programmes can influence Yellow Sea marine environment management policies.***

The activity should also meet the following requirements:

1. Carried out in the Yellow Sea at the 36° latitude line through field surveys;
2. Measure nutrients and plankton (community structure and productivity);
3. Initiate harmonisation of monitoring methodologies and assessment of impacts;
4. Begin to develop a cross-basin monitoring network to implement future likewise monitoring activities; and
5. Initiate a regional framework to incorporate the assessment of nutrient ratio change into management policy.

The expected outputs of this activity are:

1. Assessment of the current status of long-term ecosystem trend reported by Lin et al. (2005) ;
2. Assessment of the impacts of nutrient ratio change on lower trophic levels in the Yellow Sea; and
3. Report showing the work carried out and results of the above five requirements.
