The 2022 edition of AMARE-MED was focused on spatially explicit resource modelling and includes fishing fleet displacement, environmental variables and management rules.

Teachers: Andre Punt (UoW) and Tommaso Russo (University Tor Vergata, CNR-IRBIM, Conisma). 

The first three days were devoted to constructing a 2D Model of Intermediate Complexity for Ecosystems (MICE; Plaganyi et al., 2014) and included handson fitting exercises of non-spatial and spatial single- and multi-species models using MLE, evaluation of projections and trade-off analysis. In the second part of the school (2 days), the Spatial Management of Demersal Resources for Trawl Fisheries (SMART; D’Andrea et al., 2020) was used to identify fishing grounds, and project the effects of fleet management measures on fisheries displacement and resources.

The course was highly technical with practical hands-on computer activities, assignments and programming.

The school was held from 2 to 8 October 2022 in Larnaka, Cyprus.
