PRIMED for the future
The number and severity of marine disease outbreaks are increasing with climate change and human activity. Marine diseases threaten not only the ecosystems they impact but also disrupt key ecological services. Because effective responses are time-sensitive and detection requires cohesive pre-disease information, we have formed a collaborative research network called PRIMED:
Primary Responders In Marine Emergent Disease.
The purpose of PRIMED is to establish connections between scientists and managers with varied scientific expertise, with familiarity of diverse taxa, and representing many entities to increase surveillance of and responsiveness to marine disease emergencies on the North American West Coast. The broad expertise of PRIMED members covers
1) the ecology & environment,
2) diagnostics and
3) mitigation & remediation.
By having “boots on the rocks and fins in the water” we are PRIMED for the future.
