Ecosystem based multi-species management using Empirical Dynamic Programming

Abstract

Control theory and stochastic dynamic programming have long been used to develop optimal single-species management policies. However, most species interact with others through competition and predation as parts of complex ecosystems. As a consequence, it is unclear how far from optimal the single species policies currently in use actually are. Moreover, there are as yet no scalable algorithms for optimal ecosystem management.
