Description:
These assessments provide information on the vulnerability of marine species to projected changes in ocean and climate conditions. The methodology uses existing information on the species' sensitivity (based on life history, current status etc) to changing ocean/climate conditions and the projected magnitude of change in environmental conditions (based on IPCC climate protections for mid-century) to estimate the vulnerability of changes in the abundance or distribution of each species.
