This project convened the “Arctic Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Structure Data Analysis & Synthesis” scientific workshop. The overarching goal of the workshop was to foster dialogue amongst disciplinary specialists with the intent to advance our ability to integrate scientific understanding of ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity. We helped raise awareness amongst attendees of the broad variety of data that are available to foster new synthetic analyses, and we discussed potential fruitful pathways for future field and desktop studies. Discussion time was also devoted to improving and/or creating new conceptual models of the functioning of the Chukchi Sea marine ecosystem, and to the various management agency applications and agency needs. We identified a need for outreach products that can convey information about the scientific research to residents of the Chukchi Sea coastal communities, students, the general public, and others.
