This workshop aims to bring together experts from the CalCOFI State of the California Current Ecosystem Report (CalCOFI SOTCC) and the California Current Integrated Ecosystem Assessment Ecosystem Status Report (CCIEA ESR) including the current/potential data contributors, data analysts, and researchers, to share the history, drivers and objectives of each report; align their data collection and analysis processes; and leave with a shared data flow, timeline, and plan for harmonization of the two reports. Jointly these efforts contribute to a shared, holistic overall understanding of the California Current. The workshop will consist of a series of presentations and group discussions. The goal of this workshop is to create a shared vision for a data flow that can support both reports. This will support a more coherent and integrated understanding of the California Current ecosystem and will help to inform future management and conservation efforts in the region.
