<DIV> The workshop will be highly interactive, seeking to engage scientists, agencies, and Mid-Atlantic stakeholders in a robust exploration of possible ecosystem indicators for the Ocean Action Plan, including physical and atmospheric drivers, anthropogenic pressures, benthic and pelagic habitats, upper and lower marine life trophic levels, and how those indicators might be displayed and communicated.  Prior to the workshop, a white paper to support the discussion will be available.</DIV>
