Excerpt from Marine Ecosystem Modeling: Proceedings From a Workshop Held April 6-8, 1982, Frederick, MD The modeling needs for this integrated process encompass the areas of deterministic and simulative models of environmental processes and effects, probabilistic or risk assessment models, and models for decision analysis, including models of value or utility and models for time preference and risk aversion. These needs are discussed briefly, and a generic set of information requirements is presented for major marine pollution issues. This set of needs requires the formulation, validation, and documentation of predictive modeling techniques, which should be iteratively applied and refined in a management decision context to be most effective.
