Description: "The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) and the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics Program (GLOBEC) agreed in 1993 to jointly organize an international science program on Climate Change and Carrying Capacity (CCCC) in the temperate and subarctic regions of the North Pacific Ocean. A PICES-GLOBEC Workshop was organized in 1994 to develop a Science Plan during the PICES Third Annual Meeting in Nemuro, Japan. This proposed PICES-GLOBEC Science Plan is the result of this Workshop, and prior input from PICES Working Group and Science Committee members.  Activities in the CCCC Program are anticipated on two spatial scales: 1. Basin-scale studies to determine how plankton productivity and the "carrying capacity" for high trophic level, pelagic carnivores in the North Pacific change in response to climate variations. 2. Regional-scale, ecosystem studies comparing how variations in ocean climate change species dominance and productivity of key plankton and fish populations in the coastal margins of the Pacific Rim, from China to California."--Introd.
