Introduction to ATLAS WP3: Biodiversity and Biogeography

Introduction to ATLAS Work Package 3, Biodiversity and Biogeography, from the 1st ATLAS General Assembly, June 2016. 

ATLAS will use a combination of techniques to study the biodiversity and biogeographic patterns of sensitive deep-water ecosystems and deep-sea fish in the North Atlantic, forecast changes under future climate change scenarios, and strengthen the evidence base for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems and Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas.
