Future Seas is a collaborative, interdisciplinary effort to explore potential impacts of climate change on U.S. west coast fisheries and to evaluate strategies for managing those impacts.

We are focused on the swordfish, albacore tuna, and coastal pelagic fisheries off the U.S. west coast, each of which involves a unique set of ecological and socioeconomic concerns.
Dynamical, statistical, and conceptual models are being combined in a framework to project physical, ecological, and socioeconomic change and to evaluate uncertainty in the models.
We are climate scientists, oceanographers, ecologists, economists, and social scientists working closely with fishers and fishery managers.
Future Seas is funded by the NOAA Climate Program Office’s Climate and Fisheries Adaptation (CAFA) program and the NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology.
