Synthesis Working Groups
Overview of Working Groups
Synthesis working groups focus on key analyses that significantly advance the interdisciplinary understanding of the nearshore portion of the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). These analyses include conceptual synthesis of large-scale and interdisciplinary information. These working groups are part of a synthesis series established by PISCO in winter 2005.
