As human pressures on the natural environmental increase through the Anthropocene and simultaneously, our demand for marine ecosystem services grow, it is paramount that adequate tools needs to be developed for good marine ecosystem governance and management. The development of such governance and management requires an understanding of the constituent physic-chemical, biological and socio-economic systems, as well as their connectivity. The efficient and relevant development of coastal management protocols could only be realized when there forms a comprehensive understanding of how the ecosystem changes with the changing environment. To realize the goal, both coupled marine physical with ecosystem models and involvement of stakeholders are needed.

Coupled marine physical and biogeochemical ecosystem models are of fundamental importance in fortifying assessment, management and policy support. Outputs from physical FVCOM (Finite-Volume, primitive equation Community Ocean Model)/ ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System) coupled with biological ERSEM (European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model) for both Norwegian and Chinese marginal seas are to be analyzed to develop scenarios for the scale, rate and phenology of critical drivers of organism and ecosystem function. 

The natural scientific information about sustainable development of marine ecosystem services concerning how they change in a changing environment would only be ideal but not be meaningful if the social and economic expectations of the stakeholders, who live on take benefits from ecosystem services, are not considered. So we will need to provide targeted knowledge of ecosystem functioning and services changes to different stakeholders, meanwhile, to adjust models analysis according to their needs, thus to help them adapt to global change.
