| mip_abstract | Climate-driven ecosystem changes are increasingly affecting the global ocean ecosystems, necessitating urgent guidance on adaptation strategies to limit or prevent catastrophic impacts. The Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) is a network and framework that provides standardized ensemble projections of the impacts of climate change and fisheries on ocean life and the benefits that it provides to people through fisheries. Since its launch in 2013 as a small, self-organized project within the larger Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project, the FishMIP community has grown substantially and contributed to key international policy processes, such as the IPCC AR5 and AR6, and the IPBES Global Biodiversity Assessment. FishMIP outputs are being used across a variety of applications (e.g., climate change targets, fisheries management, marine conservation, Sustainable Development Goals). Over the next decade, FishMIP will focus on improving ecosystem model ensembles to provide more robust and policy-relevant projections for different regions of the world under multiple climate and societal change scenarios and continue to be open to a broad spectrum of marine ecosystem models and modelers. FishMIP aims to continue enhancing our understanding of how marine life and its contributions to people may change over the coming century at both global and regional scales. Our primary scientific goals are to understand the impacts of climate change on fisheries and marine ecosystems, particularly trophic levels above zooplankton. As an impact MIP that uses the CMIP results of preindustrial, historical, and scenario experiments, it is more appropriate as a standalone MIP than an addition of new experiments to an existing MIP such as OMIP. |
