Management advice is related to: Predict future development (related to most

probable future changes/ stresses )

Answer to “what if” questions (related to possible future stresses or management actions (e.g. reduced fertilization, potential accidents, fish quotas, ...))

It is most often a matter of estimating the coupled effects of both natural and human pressures

Advice is by its nature operational, which for us means to deliver useful information about the marine ecosystem at the right time and in the right format (about the past, now and in the future)
