"The workshop described in this report provided a forum through which participants contributed their knowledge and expertise to ecosystem-based fishery management in the Western Pacific. The meeting was not about formulating ecosystem policy per se. Rather, it was intended to enable deliberation on important ecosystem management issues and provide insight and lessons from persons working in marine fisheries or relevant fields in other parts of the region, nation, and world. This chapter of the report reviews key elements of that insight, revisits some of those lessons, and generates summary conclusions and recommendations intended to assist the Council as it incrementally and adaptively moves forward with ecosystem principles in the years to come"--Summary conclusions and recommendations.
