The first day at INIDEP (Mar del Plata) was dedicated to brief presentations by the
participants. The idea was that all participants, some of them had not met each other before, got an introduction to the main subjects each one was working on. At the same time, it was an excellent opportunity to promote the project at INIDEP and having colleagues from the host institution to listen and participate in the discussions.
According to the proposed agenda the schedule was:

Tuesday 14 – Friday 17 June: Hotel Parque Bonito, Villa Gesell
From the second to the fifth day, the meeting took place in the installations of the hotel Parque Bonito in the town of Villa Gesell (approximately 1 h from Mar del Plata). This place proved to be a convenient venue for this type of interdisciplinary workshop, since everybody was staying at the same place, which was quite an agreeable environment (all the meals, meeting room, and other facilities provided) and relatively isolated (the town is a sea-side resort, practically empty in winter). All of which facilitated the interaction, long working hours, but also walks to the beach, in a friendly atmosphere (see pictures at the end).
The agenda included ‘Dynamic Activities’ developed especially by the USP team on Ecosystem Services (Alexander Turra, Paulo Sinisgalli, Caroline Chichoski, and Iuri Amazonas), to favor the interaction and the interdisciplinary work. This proved to be a very efficient way to work together and integrate the different disciplinary groups. At the end of each day there were also some ‘playful/pedagogic’ exercises, which contributed to the development of trust among the participants. The group of USP collected all the answers from the questionnaires, tables, as well as recording material throughout the meeting, which will lead to a special publication on its own regarding ‘interdisciplinary group dynamics’. Only a draft advance on the tables is presented here.

Tuesday 14 June The following questionnaires was passed on and filled by all participants with the objective to identify the knowledge about the other specific thematic: The first questionnaire was applied before the start of discussions on the various work areas, and the second was applied on the last day, after the dynamic activity was performed. Below are the results comparing the degree of knowledge about the different disciplines before and after the workshop. Figure 1: Comparison of knowledge of the participants on the subject time series.

The results show significant increase in knowledge about the work of the Time Series
group (Figure 1). It should be noticed that since the first questionnaire applied the null answer
was not chosen, which means that the group is more efficient in communicate its results and
the approaches they are using.
In general the results confirmed the relevance of promoting interdisciplinary
workshops, in order to advance the equalization of knowledge about different disciplines,
especially what the other groups do. This equalization can promote significative advances and
several new interactions between different research groups. This result was expected to move
to a different approach where new groups of different backgrounds were formed and forced to
think together about a general task and how to solve it using the knowledge from all groups.
Figure 2: Comparison of knowledge of the participants on the subject Natural Modeling. The knowledge about what the Natural modeling group also had expressive increase
(Figure 2), with a relevant increase of medium and high answers and significant decrease of
low and null answers.
Figure 3: Comparison of knowledge of the participants on the subject Satellite. For the Satellite group, the results show expressive increase about what other research groups are investigating (Figure 3), particularly with relevant increase of medium and high answers and decrease of low and null answers.

Figure 4: Comparison of knowledge of the participants on the subject Socioeconomic.
The knowledge about what the Socioeconomic group, although reflected increased
knowledge, had irrelevant increasing of high answers and significant increasing of medium
answers. This maybe due in great part to the fact that the majority of investigators were from
natural sciences; hence, this was the discipline which presented less advances in the proposed
activity (Figure 4). These results suggest the necessity of developing future activities focused
on the Socio-economic activities, in order to clarify and bring insights of possible interactions
with the other groups.
Exercise-1: Dynamic “Mapping objectives” Objectives:
1. Understand/Review the objectives of the Project;
2. Understand/Review the need and potential links between each thematic group with the
objectives.
Activity description:
The members were divided into disciplinary groups and each group worked answering (if applicable) the three tasks of the table, according with the specific objectives of the project, showing how the group contributes to achieve the project objectives. It was expected that the disciplinary groups would identify their roles in the project. After the discussion, the results of the table were presented in plenary to give a general idea to everybody about the work. The groups reflected on the connections between different subject areas, strengthening the interaction and the alignment of all the areas towards the project objectives.

Draft of answers obtained (in green are the group clarifications during plenary and in red are complementary information produced in the plenary discussion, representing a collective production of knowledge):
Time series in situ Mapping objectives
Objectives What the group does? What the group needs? What are the other groups you need to interact to achieve these objectives?
1
We assess in situ oceanographic conditions in terms of physical, chemical and biological variables. We look for changes and trends in the physical-chemical environment and how they relate to different time-scale phenomena. We then attempt to identify biological indicators, which may reflect responses to these environmental changes. We also attempt to apply control quality data by comparisons, inter-calibrations, using Standards etc.
We need remote sensing data to increase our spatial coverage from our fixed time series stations. We also need to identify large-scale processes from satellite data to understand our observations. It would also be important to have information on future scenarios as to make projections for our observations Analysis of phytoplankton functional groups (PFT) with satellite data
Satellite modeling group and natural modelling
2
In some cases, we integrate our data with meteorological data and Climatic indexes, such as NAOI, PDO, Upwelling, SIO
Eventually, we need complementary data on surface winds, currents, eddies and other physical processes which can be provided by satelilte data
It would be important to Interact with satellite modelling group, although our group agrees this interaction hás not happened yet. In order to improve the resolution and quality of our observations it would be relevant to Interact with the natural modelling group and discuss what are their needs as to improve modelling outputs.

We need to increase visibility of our Project and its importance in the context of socio-economical issues. This to get support for our studies.
With the socio-economical group
4
We measure either primary production and/or phytoplankton biomass as a proxy of ecosystem service provided by phytoplankton populations. We also assess changes in community structure of phytoplankton, and how the environment affect primary production and C flux.
More interaction with other groups (fisheries...). Carbon Satellite modelling?
With the socio-economical group (ecosystem modelers?)
5
We push the idea that variation in primary production and plankton determines life and production of the whole marine ecosystem, including fishes. The extent to which this issue reaches society varies among study sites
Increase visibility of four studies. Interaction with ecologists (e.g. fishery ecologists)
With the socio-economical group to help us up increase visibility, natural modelling group and satellite people. Altogether can suppor and help us in giving value to our study for society benefit.
6
For each region, we provide biological data which can be used to define and calculate biological indicators

Antares Network ad-hoc meeting
An important side-meeting with the members of the Antares network present at the
meeting took place in the evening. One of the main objectives was to elect a new coordinator
for the network, since we do not have a formal term or method of rotation, but the first term
was covered by Vivian Lutz from 2003-2009 and recently by Eduardo Santamaría from 2009-
2016. Before the election, Eduardo made a valuable recount of the advances of the network
(including incorporation of Colombia and Ecuador, and re-incorporation of Peru). Then
Sergio Cerdeira proposed the name of Ana Dogliotti (IAFE-CONICET, Argentina) to be the
next coordinator, which was unanimously approved.
Thursday 16 June
We had the visit of two researchers working on a CONICET funded project associated
to the IAI-CRN3070 (Variability of ocean ecosystems around South America ‘VOCES’)
project. Daniela Alemany and Paulina Martinetto offered a presentation about the IAI -
CONICET (D3347/14) project ‘SERVICIOS ECOSISTÉMICOS DE LAS ZONAS
FRONTALES EN EL GRAN ECOSISTEMA MARINO DEL ATLÁNTICO
SUDOCCIDENTAL’. We had the opportunity to discuss synergies between the projects.
Even more, we count with the participation of Daniela and Paulina in our interactive work for
the rest of the day.
After that there were presentations on the two ‘Interdisciplinary activities’ proposed
within our project, based on the ones presented the first day, but with more time and
opportunity for discussion:
- Interdisciplinary component. Food provision. Milton Kampel - Interdisciplinary component. Regulation. Rubén Negri
Exercise-3: Interdisciplinary discussion
Objectives:
Stimulate the ability/capacity of all the groups to think in a interdisciplinary approach
about the general concept of the Antares project in a perspective of the trends in
phytoplankton and associated ecosystem services in Latin-America (due to natural and/or
IAI – CRN3094

man-made drivers) as well as their impacts on human livelihoods and socioeconomic
activities.
Activity description
For this exercise the groups were no longer the usual ‘disciplinary groups’, but rather
they were formed to mix disciplines. For this exercise, the task was to identify a general
question to be answered by the project, in order to insert all the disciplinary approaches. The
idea of this exercise was to force the groups to think “out of their boxes” and incorporate other
groups’ subjects into a general problem. Then, each group prepared a wonder considering the
following three steps:
1. Identify a policy relevant interdisciplinary question to be addressed by the project
(focus on phytoplankton ecosystem services);
2. Identify the steps (data and activities) needed to address it:
3. Identify what is lacking to do it.
Draft answers obtained:
Interdisciplinary group 1 – Martin (rapporteur)
1) The Question:
How will phytoplankton help us survive in a climate change planet?
2) Data and activities:
a) Establish a permanent marine biodiversity observation network based on satellite and in-
situ measurements to monitor the ocean habitat and inhabitants. Variables to be measured (in-
situ and/or satellite): pCO2, PP, biological diversity, temperature, salinity, nutrients, PAR,
oxygen, alkalinity, DIC, DOC, Kd, chlorophyll-a, currents, turbidity, sea surface height, pH,
etc;
b) Identify KEY drivers and process that control phytoplankton changes using in-situ, satellite
and models;
c) Model future concentration of phytoplankton and its relation to climate;
d) Identify an ocean health index (OHI);
e) Communicate and interact with decision makers with the objective of mitigate the effects of
climate change;
IAI – CRN3094
In person Workshop Mar del Plata 13 - 17 June 2016 Página 35
3) What is lacking:
a) Complement Antares measurements with other parameters
b) Standardization of measurements through all the stations
c) Make data available
Interdisciplinary group 2 - Ruben Negri, Vivian, Milton (rapporteur), Martina, Eduardo,
Guillermina.
1) The Question:
How to translate the indicators related to phytoplankton populations and its composition
flows of ecosystem services (fisheries case, SE: provision / support) and its economic impact?
Phytoplankton basis of marine food chains offers a service provision / support. But there
is great diversity of fishing activities in different countries, with different challenges and
conflicts.
2) Data and activities:
We must guide the problem / analysis so that we can address it.
3) What is lacking:
Establish the communication link with decision makers to foster future
adaptations/mitigation policies.
Interdisciplinary group 3 - Carol, Ricardo, Ana (rapporteur), Carla, Luis
IAI – CRN3094
In person Workshop Mar del Plata 13 - 17 June 2016 Página 36
1) The question:
Which is the capacity of the phytoplankton to sequestrate CO2 en relation to antropogenic
emission? Is the phytoplankton biomass enough to balance/counterbalance antropogenic
emissions? Is phytoplakton uptake capacity constant?
2) Data and activities:
- Chl-a: satelital e in situ
- Flujo de CO2: modelado
a) Validate/calibrate satellite Chl-a using in situ data from ANTARES sites
b) Model CO2 flux and PP (input validated satellite data)
c) Correlate modeled CO2 flux and PP
d) Index= CO2_emited(IPCC) - CO2_phyto_captured(modeled)
e) Webpage map of the index
3) What is lacking:
Run models.
Interdisciplinary Group 4 –Iuri (rapporteur), Ruben Escribano, Virginia, Irene, Jesus.
1) The question:
IAI – CRN3094
In person Workshop Mar del Plata 13 - 17 June 2016 Página 37
Which are the human activities that are directly related to phytoplankton dynamics in the
ocean?
1.1 – The questions:
Will primary production decrease with global warming in the LA regions and what would
be the consequences for local economies?
2) Data and activities:
a) Define the measurement and/or proxy for primary production (in situ and Satellite Chla,
PP by satellite modeling);
b) Assess temporal variability of PP;
c) Determine whether PP variability relates to climate change indicators;
d) Assess if changes and trends in PP are related to fish landings, and identify how other
human activities may influence changes in PP. For example, changes in land use and cover;
f) Development of numerical modeling to analyze trends in PP related to different forcing
(temperature, nutrients, trophic relationships).
3) What is lacking:
a) We need to integrate the available information
b) To identity socioeconomic indicators of response to variability in PP for each ANTARES
sites
c)Establish the communication link with decision makers to foster future
Adaptations/mitigation policies
After a general discussion of the answers from the groups, Martina Chidiak gave a
brief presentation on ‘Natural Capital’ to explain some concepts regarding economic value of
the ecosystem services.
