Objectives of the workshop: - to assess and continue the development of trait-based approaches in different fields of ecology and marine science,
- facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas and progress between marine, terrestrial and limnology-based researchers and students,
- use a novel, collaborative format to identify core emerging questions and issues relevant to the use of trait-based approaches,
- to point out how these methods can be utilized to better understand marine ecosystem functioning and as a framework for marine ecosystem modelling
