01 WGNARS - Interim Report of the Working Group on the Northwest Atlantic Regional Sea (WGNARS)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ninth meeting of the Working Group on the Northwest Atlantic Regional Sea (WGNARS), chaired by Robert Gregory (Canada) and Geret DePiper (USA) was held at the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, in Falmouth, MA, USA, on 5–9 March 2018. The meeting was attended by 22 participants from the US and Canada, with an additional two participants calling in remotely. The overarching objective of WGNARS is to develop Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) capacity in the North-west Atlantic region to support ecosystem approaches to science and management.This report reviews the second WGNARS meeting within the current 3-year Terms of Reference (ToRs). The two major activities at the March 2018 meeting were to (a) pre-pare a progress report on ToRs a–e, and (b) encourage and enhance intersessional col-laboration across the region on research initiatives in support of IEA science. In 2017, highlights of this intersessional work include the 2017 collaboration between WGNARS and the US Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council on an ecosystem-level risk assessment, and member contributions towards the draft Canadian State of the Ocean (SOTO) Report for the Atlantic. During 2018, a number of WG products will be developed to continue to address the current ToRs including (1) a review of best practices in incorporating habitat into IEA science, (2) a linear transition matrix model for showcasing intertemporal management trade-offs, (3) comparisons of quantitative and qualitative models to assess the level of concurrence between the approaches, (4) preparation of a manuscript exploring the limitations of currently employed indicator analyses, (5) development of a dynamic factor analysis to facilitate indicator selection, (6) spatial approaches to indicator assessment, and (7) strawmen conceptual models to illustrate the transition from the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council’s Risk As-sessment to an ecosystem-level management strategy evaluation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
