JOINT WMO–IOC COMMISSION FOR OCEANOGRAPHY AND MARINE
METEOROLOGY AND COMMISSION FOR AGRICULTURAL METEOROLOGY JOINT
TASK TEAM ON WEATHER, CLIMATE AND FISHERIES TERMS OF REFERENCE
The Team is tasked to:
1. Review the current data collection by JCOMM and others, to assess how these data meet
the current needs of the ecosystem-approach to management in fisheries; as appropriate,
work with other JCOMM expert teams to develop climate services for fisheries based on
the available marine climate data;
2. Encourage oceanic and coastal fisheries management organizations to inform their
members about the advantages of making, reporting and protecting relevant marine
meteorological and ocean observations that are used by the various WMO and IOC
observation and information systems;
3. Contribute to the understanding of the impacts of climate change on fisheries and marine
aquaculture;
4. Identify risk assessment or management evaluation tools that incorporate climate
variability in order to improve the ecosystem-approach to management of fisheries;
5. Identify how weather and climate tools can inform integrated coastal zone management
relevant to coastal fisheries and marine aquaculture;
6. Explore the possibility of developing inputs of climate impacts on fisheries for the WMO
Annual Statement on the Status of the Global Climate;
7. Promote the strengthening of climate services for fisheries under the GFCS
agriculture/food security priority area by developing pilot projects with other international
organizations;
8. Submit reports, including recommendations on follow-up actions, in accordance with
timetables agreed by the Management Committees of CAgM and JCOMM.
