Benguela: Predicting a Large Marine EcosystemVere Shannon, Gotthilf Hempel, Coleen Moloney, John D. Woods, Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli Elsevier, 17 ago 2006 - 438 páginas This is a book which examines much of what we know and also what we don’t know about the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem and its inherent variability. Building on recent work and exciting findings about the predictability of the Benguela and other coastal upwelling ecosystems, the book takes a look towards the future and highlights the difficulty of making predictions in such a complex and variable region. The book illustrates what scientists and managers from developed and developing countries can achieve by working together, and it lays a solid base upon which to build wise management and ensure sustainable use of the ecosystem.

Página 29 - LMEs will be contingent on the identification of the major driving forces causing large-scale changes in biomass yields. Management of species responding to strong environmental signals will be enhanced by improving the understanding of the physical factors forcing biological change, thereby enhancing forecasts of El Nino-type events.
