We take this opportunity to thank the programmers who have worked with the Ecopath project, and the many colleagues who have interacted with us in the development of EwE. We thank the Ecopath users for their interest, especially those who supplied us with comments, experiences and reprints.
The development of Ecopath was made possible through project grants from the Danish International Development Assistance, Danida, to ICLARM, and from the Pew Charitable Trusts. Development of a new generation of the software is currently in progress through funding from the Lenfest Ocean Program, see ?http://www.lenfestoceanfutures.org, and we gratefully acknowledge their support.
