Abstract
An ecosystem approach is a framework for collaborative research, governance, and management that focuses on protecting ecosystem health with resilience (i.e., the capacity to respond to disturbance or perturbation by resisting damage and subsequently recovering) and fostering resource conservation and sustainable use. In celebration of this 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and the “United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration” (2021-2030), the Healthy Headwaters Lab of the University of Windsor’s Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management Society, and many partners: convened a 2022 international conference on the ecosystem approach that included six synthesis working groups, arranged 16 public workshops throughout the Great Lakes basin to get stakeholder feedback on ways and means of advancing an ecosystem approach in the 21<sup>st</sup> century, and performed a follow-up participant survey and literature review. Collectively, these four project elements provided an opportunity to learn from past and current experiences with ecosystem approaches and look to the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead to improve efforts in implementing ecosystem-based management across the Great Lakes and beyond, and to reap its many social, economic, and environmental benefits.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
