Dr. Rebecca Lewison is the lead author of a paper released today in BioScience that promotes an adaptive approach, using real-time data, to managing ocean ecosystems and the resources within our oceans. Lewison and her coauthors suggest that by incorporating flexibility into the management framework and putting science to work, these complex systems can be better managed, striking a balance between ocean resource use and conservation.
