Shifting Baselines Historical dimension of INCOFISH Overarching aim is to examine the
patterns of long-term change in selected coastal ecosystems and thereby establish targets for the restoration and sustainable use of living marine resources

Workshop Aims As the second milestone of the ‘Shifting
Baselines’ Workpackage of the INCOFISH programme, workshop 2 was identified as a platform for realising three aims: to synthesise research findings and thereby
establish baselines against which the current status of selected marine ecosystems can be assessed;
to foster interaction with other INCOFISH Workpackages, especially WP1 and WP3;
to organise the dissemination of findings via publications, reports and the INCOFISH website.

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
Workshop 2 July 2007
Workshop Outcomes (1) All of the delegates participated in the
proceedings which required interactive involvement.
Based upon the presentations and discussions regarding each partner institution’s research and activities, Workpackage 2 was deemed to be on track to meet the remaining deliverables as scheduled.
UNAL, the Colombian partners, were unable to send a delegate due to unforeseen difficulties with travel arrangements. However, UNAL provided a detailed, annotated presentation which was presented on their behalf to the attending delegates.

Workshop Outcomes (2) Jointly developed WP1/WP2 Online Search
Tool prototype unveiled; the Online Search Tool will be released within the overall INCOFISH website for dissemination upon final verification of datasets
The presentation and practical application of a GIS mapping tools mini-workshop, presented by Jonathan Ready of WP3 was well received and provided partners with a practical means of presenting, annotating and formulating collected data in a visual format. It was agreed that this methodology would be a useful and applicable tool for future and current usage.

Workshop Outcomes (3) Agreement was reached that three
approaches would be made to determine the established baselines of the project: Common representation of fishing
activities following an expansion/exploitation/decline curve that could be synthesised into a single indicator;
Application of a “ratchet” type of gearing to a species decline model in order to provide a common means of assessing fisheries management;
A combination of these approaches

Workshop 2 July 2007
Workshop Outcomes (4) One or more of the established
baselines approaches will result in a high impact paper that will provide the dissemination of the joint Workpackage 2 outputs.
The possibility of a later mini-workshop (based in Hull, UK), was discussed- based upon the submission of established baseline conceptual approach information from participating partners
