The Future of Marine Animal Populations
Synthesis plan
Updated Version: July 2008
I. Overarching themes
a.
Mission
FMAP attempts to describe and synthesize globally changing patterns of species abundance,
distribution, and diversity, and to model the effects of fishing, climate change and other key variables
on those patterns. This work is done across ocean realms and with an emphasis on understanding past
changes and predicting future scenarios.
b.
Outcomes
During the synthesis phase (2008-2010) these questions will be addressed within three topical synthesis
streams:
(1) DIVERSITY: Cross-taxa biodiversity patterns in the ocean (Lead: Boris Worm)
(2) DISTRIBUTION: Animal distribution and movements (Lead: Ian Jonsen)
(3) ABUNDANCE: Long-term trends in animal abundance and ocean ecosystems (Lead: Heike Lotze).
These streams are not strictly separate, but will focus on distinct data sources, and emphasize different
patterns. Ultimately, their findings will be combined in the Grand Synthesis products (see Fig. 1). Within
each stream we aim to synthesize what is known, and how that knowledge has grown over the lifetime
of the Census, contrasting it with the yet unknown and unknowable. Where possible we will
increasingly focus on the question, how observed patterns and trends in marine animal distribution,
abundance and diversity may change in the future, using different scenarios for changes in fishing and
climate in particular. As FMAP has done successfully in the past, we will perform syntheses analyses
across species groups, ranging from plankton to whales, and across ocean realms, from estuaries to
the open ocean. Our overarching goal is to develop a coherent picture of the dynamic changes in marine
animal distribution, abundance and diversity, in the past, today, and projected into the future given a range
of global change scenarios.
c.
Outputs
We aim to produce a solid body of (i) peer-reviewed Synthesis Papers that synthesize our scientific
findings over the last 10 years, (ii) Modeling ‘Toolboxes’ that enable others to continue these
explorations, and (iii) Static Maps as well as Animated Visualizations aimed at a general audience
(possible outlets: Google Oceans, National Geographic). To achieve these synthesis goals, we are
developing three major FMAP Synthesis streams, with different modules focusing on key species groups,
ocean realms or objectives (see Fig. 1). An overall synthesis paper across the three streams will be the
final FMAP Project Synthesis.

Project-Specific Products
Synthesis Stream I. Global patterns of marine biodiversity
Lead: Boris Worm
Collaborations with OBIS, CenSeam, CReefs, CMarZ, NAGISA, and others if possible
The goal is to overlay spatial diversity patterns for different species group, searching for local hotspots
and coldspots, regional overlap between different groups and global spatial gradients in marine diversity.
We will also attempt to contrast species richness patterns in the ocean with those described on land. The
following marine groups will be treated in detail:
a. Large predators (Lead: Boris Worm): Boris Worm and Derek Tittensor will focus on global diversity
patterns and range distributions of large pelagic fish (tuna, billfish), Kristin Kaschner on marine mammals,
and Luis Lucifora, and Veronica Garcia on sharks, rays and chimaeras. The goals are to develop global
spatial diversity patterns for all pelagic groups, and to standardize these efforts across groups so that we
can overlay maps for a combined analysis of pelagic hotspots and gradients of diversity in the global
ocean. These efforts will then be expanded to include other realms listed under b) to e).
b. Coral reefs (Lead: Camilo Mora): This project will focus on synthesizing data on the current status of
coral reefs, their diversity, and potential drivers of their decline. Camilo is now based at Scripps to
facilitate collaboration with CReefs. Julia Baum (also now at Scripps) and Jana McPherson will work on
the recently compiled Pacific Reefs Fish data base to analyze species range distributions and extinction
risks in reef fish assemblages.
c. Deep Sea (Lead: Derek Tittensor): Mapping global patterns of diversity in the deep-sea is particularly
challenging due to the sparseness of the available data, and the inaccessibility of this environment. FMAP
and CenSeam are collaborating on analyzing the diversity and distribution of deep-sea and seamount
07/July/2008

corals, the factors underlying those distributions, and the statistical approaches for such data-poor
systems.
d. Plankton (Lead: Boris Worm): Boris Worm and Daniel Boyce will analyze global patterns of
phytoplankton and foraminifera, as well as integrating data on large gelatinous plankton. Increased
collaboration with CMarZ is being pursued to ensure cross-fertilization of ideas and data sharing..
e. Coastal waters (Lead: Heike Lotze): Heike Lotze will contribute diversity patterns from estuaries and
coastal seas, and Allison Schmidt from nearshore vegetated habitats. Towards this goal we will
collaborate with NaGISA in the Changing Oceans Synthesis Group.
f. Unknown diversity (Lead: Derek Tittensor: Camilo Mora and Derek Tittensor will use existing
biogeographical data (in collaboration with Edward vanBerghe, OBIS) to assess the known and unknown
of total species richness, the completeness of taxonomic inventories worldwide, and their suitability to
construct or adjust global-scale patterns in marine diversity.
Synthesis Stream II. Spatial distribution and movements of tagged animals
Lead: Ian Jonsen
Collaborations: TOPP, OTN, and POST
The goal of this stream is to synthesize the movement behavior and dynamic patterns of spatial
distribution of vertebrate predators in the ocean over time scales ranging from days to years. We will
integrate oceanographic information with electronic tracking data to understand how marine predators
interact with their environment and to predict how environmental change may affect these interactions. In
addition to gaining mechanistic knowledge of movement behaviors and patterns, we will create maps of
species’ seasonal distributions, inferred from the tracking data that will contribute to project stream II.
a. Synthesis of developed modeling tools (Lead: Ian Jonsen): Ian Jonsen, Greg Breed and Salvador
Jorgensen (TOPP) will continue to work on modeling methods, originally developed for Argos satellite
data, by expanding the toolbox to include methods for analyzing light-based geolocation data and for
incorporating oceanographic data directly into behavioral analyses. Joanna Mills-Flemming will develop
alternate estimation approaches and model selection methods that will provide important flexibility for
fitting behavioral models to multiple species. These modeling approaches will be synthesized in an edited
volume and combined in a freely distributed software package for data holders.
b. Atlantic Ocean (Lead: Greg Breed): The modeling tools developed under module (a) will be applied to
better understand species’ behaviors, environmental interactions, roles in the marine ecosystem,
responses to climate change and fisheries interactions. Greg Breed will focus on grey seal, Mike James,
Ian Jonsen, and Trevor Davies on leatherback turtle.
c. Pacific Ocean (Lead: Ian Jonsen): Ian Jonsen and Greg Breed have initiated work with TOPP
researchers to synthesize our understanding of the migratory and foraging behaviors of Pacific pelagic
species such as white and salmon sharks, elephant seals and leatherback turtles. This work will be done
in collaboration with TOPP researchers (B. Block, D. Costa, S. Jorgensen).

Synthesis Stream III: Long-term trends in marine animal populations and ocean ecosystems
Lead: Heike Lotze
Collaboration with HMAP, CReefs, NaGISA, ArcOD, GoMA, and others if possible
The goal of Stream III is to synthesize long-term trends in the abundance, distribution, and diversity of
marine animals to add a deeper time dimension to spatial diversity patterns (Stream I) and short-term
animal movements (Stream II). These trends will be compared across species (including fish, birds,
mammals, and reptiles) and realms (including estuaries, coastal waters, continental shelves, and open
ocean). A second focus lies on analyzing the importance of and interaction among major underlying
anthropogenic (e.g., fishing, habitat loss) and natural (e.g., climate) drivers to evaluate current and
potential future trends in marine biodiversity. Finally, we will develop a modeling framework to analyze the
consequences of biodiversity changes for food-web structure and functioning today and in the future.
a. Long-term trends in abundance, distribution and diversity across realms (Lead Heike Lotze): We will
synthesize long-term trends in depletion and recovery of animal abundance, shifts in spatial distribution
and range, and changes in species diversity. Trends will be compared across species (e.g. fish, birds,
mammals, and reptiles) and ocean realms (from estuaries, coastal waters, continental shelves, to the
open ocean) to derive a general picture of long-term changes in the ocean. Long-term abundance and
diversity trends will be synthesized from available studies within FMAP (Heike Lotze, Boris Worm), from
other Census and cross-cutting projects (with HMAP, CReefs, NaGISA, ArcOD, GoMA, and others), as
well as third parties. Trends in distribution and range shifts will be analyzed using time-series data
combined with spatial modeling for tuna and billfish (Derek Tittensor), demersal fish (Dan Ricard), sharks
(Francesco Ferretti, Christine Ward-Paige), and complemented with available published studies. The
results will be synthesized in two main synthesis products: A toolbox paper will describe the multiple
approaches of reconstructing long-term trends and how to compare results across species and studies. A
review paper will then synthesize the temporal changes in marine animal abundance, distribution, and
diversity and how these differ across ocean realms. Past trends will be used to inform future projections.
b. Changing oceans: underlying drivers of change (Lead: Heike Lotze, Camilo Mora, Boris Worm): The
studies on long-term trends will be complemented by analyses of the underlying drivers of observed
changes. This will include anthropogenic and natural drivers to identify the relative importance of and
interactions among exploitation, habitat change, pollution, climate variability and other forcing factors in
changing species abundance, distribution, and diversity. Because drivers differ among ocean realms, we
aim at comparing results across estuaries and coastal waters (Heike Lotze, Allison Schmidt, with NaGISA,
Stephanie Boudreau), coral reefs (Camilo Mora, Jana McPherson, with CReefs), continental shelves
(Coilin Minto, Boris Worm), open ocean (Dan Boyce, Kristin Kaschner, Boris Worm), and possibly polar
regions (with ArcOD). Camilo Mora will also contribute results on the importance of proximate versus
ultimate human drivers in explaining changes in reef-fish communities. A synthesis across all communities
is expected to reveal how abundance, distribution, and diversity patterns in the ocean have been changed
through multiple human and natural impacts, which is an essential prerequisite to develop scenarios for
potential future changes. The effects of projected climate change scenarios will be evaluated.
c. Changing oceans: consequences of biodiversity changes for marine ecosystems (Lead: Marta Coll): To
evaluate the consequences of biodiversity changes on the structure and functioning of marine
ecosystems, we will reconstruct past and present food-web models and analyze changes in emerging
properties over time. These will be compared with empirical results (IIIa). Different modeling approaches,
including stochastic Niche models and tropho-dynamic Ecopath & Ecosim models, will be compared to
develop a general methodological framework (toolbox). Next, we will use the underlying trends and drivers
(IIIa & b) to forecast trends into the future under different fisheries, management, and climate change
scenarios.

IV. Visualization and Mapping
We are planning to work closely with the M&V Team to optimize our mapping and visualization output. Pat
Halpin from M&V is co-leading the cross-cutting work on species hotspots and will be involved with the
work on traffic patterns. Two FMAP Synthesis Team members are attending the October 2008 mapping
and visualization workshop. As one of our outreach efforts, we are planning to contribute data layers to
Google Oceans or National Geographic that visualize both patterns of diversity, their dynamic changes
(e.g. with seasonal or long-term climate change), animal distribution patterns from tracks, and long-term
changes in abundance and range size, where possible. We have done this before with static maps (most
recently in New Scientist, April 2008, ‘Depth of Ignorance’), but it will be an exciting opportunity to animate
these patterns in order to visualize dynamic changes, as they have occurred, are occurring, or are
projected to occur in the future. Visualization and mapping will be coordinated by the FMAP Synthesis
Team, as follows:
