Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on the Algoa Voyage 262, August 2019

The Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) was conducted on the Algoa Voyage 262, August 2019. Multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional platform to undertake relevant science in the Southern Benguela; also functioning as a platform for collaboration and learning. All projects aim to develop an ecosystem indicator that can be used to effectively monitor and understand the Southern Benguela i.e physical, chemical, planktonic, microbial, seabird and benthic ecosystem indicators, used for ecosystem-based management.

综合生态系统计划：南本格拉海域（Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela，缩写IEP:SB）于2019年8月在阿尔戈航次262（Algoa Voyage 262）中开展实施。该计划是一个多学科、多机构的科研平台，旨在南本格拉海域开展相关科学研究，同时也作为跨机构协作与学术学习的交流平台。所有项目均以构建一套可用于有效监测与解析南本格拉海域生态系统的生态系统指标体系为目标，该体系涵盖物理、化学、浮游生物、微生物、海鸟及底栖生物等多类生态系统指标，服务于基于生态系统的管理工作。
