Fourteen regional and international modeling experts gathered at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) on May 2 to practice the latest techniques in mathematical modeling.
Changing habitat characteristics—including salinity, temperature, wind direction, and more—all influence fish abundance but were poorly accounted for in previous models. To share new ways to incorporate these data into estimates of mid-Atlantic fish populations, Virginia Sea Grant funded a one-day modeling workshop for scientists to brush up their skills.
