Title Application of 14C labelled DMSO 
Description The use of 14C labelled DMSO has been trialled and used to determine the amount of carbon from DMSO that marine microbes are utilising as either a source for growth (assimilation) or a source of energy (dissimilation). This methodology has been added to stable tracer methods to determine the sources and sinks of DMSO in seawater during a time series at a coastal long term monitoring station, L4 in the western English Channel. There is a resulting time series for 2014 and 2016.

Title Dominant Frequency State Analysis 
Description This is a major novel new method of analysis for climate systems. It will significantly improve all analysis capability in this field. It is a combination of physical dynamical systems theory and statistical likelihood inference. This method (peer assessed and published by JGROceans) is a significant advance of our capability to identify and estimate low amplitude climate dynamic systems that have previously been a challenge to resolve. The method will be helpful for all analyses in Earth System Science. 
Type Of Material Improvements to research infrastructure 
Year Produced 2017 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact This has updated our understanding of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) mechanism. It accurately resolves the low frequency climate modes. The ENSO mechanism is the dominant planetary climate mode. The impact of this theoretical finding will impact all Earth System climate research. The Lead author has shared this work (now as an independent academic researcher and in his professional national role in the Institute of Physics (Physics Communicators Group)) across three EPSRC climate networks (CliMathNet, RECoVER, Past Earth Network) within three professional bodies the IOP, the Royal Statistical Society and the Royal Meteorological Society. The method is being presented at Ocean Sciences 2018 and now forms the basis for NERC and EPSRC research proposal's being formulated in 2018.

Title Abundance of microbial phytoplankton abundance and bacteria through the water column during the AMT28/JR18001 cruise in 2018. 
Description Fresh seawater samples were collected in clean 250 mL polycarbonate bottles using a Seabird CTD system containing a 24 bottle rosette of 20 L Niskin bottles from 200 m to the surface at predawn and solar noon CTD casts. Samples were stored in a refrigerator and analysed within 2 hours of collection. Fresh samples were measured using a Becton Dickinson FACSort flow cytometer which characterised and enumerated Prochlorococcus sp. and Synechococcus sp. (cyanobacteria) and pico- and eukaryote phytoplankton, based on their light scattering and autofluorescence properties. The resulting data provide information on the abundance of marine microbes in the sunlit upper ocean in the Atlantic from approx. 50 degrees north to 50 degrees south and form part of an ongoing time series, which began in 1995.

Title Abundance of phytoplankton, heterotrophic nanoflagellates and bacteria through the water column at time series station L4 in the Western English Channel, 2007-2018. 
Description This dataset contains depth profiles of the mean abundance of groups of plankton as cells per millilitre, measured using flow cytometry from the long-term sampling station, L4 (50°15.0'N; 4°13.0'W) situated off the south-west coast of England, United Kingdom. The groups quantified are divided into phytoplankton and heterotrophs. Phytoplankton groups quantified are: Synechococcus sp. (cyanobacteria)(Syn), picoeuakryotes (smaller than 2 µm) (Peuk), cryptophytes (Crypto), coccolithophores (Cocco), small dinoflagellates (<20 µm) (Dino), Phaeocystis sp. (Pcystis) and nanoeukaryotes (Neuk) not already mentioned (2-20 µm). Heterotrophs quantified are: heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNAN), bacteria with relatively high nucleic acid content (HNA) and bacteria with relatively low DNA. Samples were collected and analysed in duplicate (heterotrophs) or triplicate (phytoplankton) from 2 m, 10 m, 25 m and 50 m depth. In 2007 the Secchi depth was sampled instead of the 10 m depth. NOTE: In 2013 an extra column appears in the abundance section and in the standard deviation section. The columns are labelled 'Pnitz'; possibly the chain-forming diatom Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima. It is also present in 2011 and 2012 where the samples were run using the newest flow cytometer at PML - data still to be supplied. Discrimination is down to better measurement of forward light scatter with the new flow cytometer (a BD Accuri C6).

Title Coupling MEDUSA with ERSEM benthic modules 
Description Incorporation of MEDUSA in FABM framework led to certain degree of modularisation of its code, which allowed to test coupling of its pelagic component with ERSEM benthic modules. The coupled configuration was tested in a global NEMO-FABM-MEDUSA setup (ORCA2). The benefit of coupling is that the lightweight of MEDUSA code suitable for global simulations is combined with considerably more detailed than the default benthic zone description from ERSEM, which will benefit future simulations at a higher resolution and allow better estimates of contribution of shallow areas within the Earth system. Configuration file for MEDUSA (pelagic)-ERSEM (benthic) system is available on PML gitlab server.

Title SST collected by surfers in the southern UK and western Ireland between 2014 and 2017 
Description This dataset consists of sea surface temperature (SST) data collected by recreational surfers around the southern UK and Western Ireland coastline over the period from 5th January 2014 to 8th February 2017. These data were collected as part of a research project supported by Plymouth Marine Laboratory. Over the study period, the recreational surfers collected 297 independent samples of SST. The surfers were equipped with a UTBI-001 Tidbit V2 Temperature Data Logger and a Garmin etrex 10 GPS. The Garmin etrex 10 device was used to extract GPS information (latitude and longitude) for each surf. The Tidbit V2 temperature logger was attached, using cable-ties, at mid-point to the leash of the surfboards to ensure continuous contact with seawater when surfing, measuring temperature in the top metre of the water column. Roughly every 6 months over the study period, the Tidbit V2 temperature loggers were rigorously compared with a VWR1620-200 traceable digital thermometer (with an accuracy of 0.05 degrees C at the range of 0 to 100 degrees C) at 1 degree C intervals from 6 to 25 degrees C using a PolyScience temperature bath. Over the study period, all sensors performed within the manufacturers technical specifications. A piecewise regression to model was used to correct any Tidbit V2 temperature data collected to remove systematic biases between sensors, such that the errors in each sensor were within the accuracy of VWR1620-200 traceable digital thermometer. Temperature data were collected at 10 second intervals during each surfing session. The data were processed to remove any data collected before and after entering the water and SST were extracted by computing the median of the remaining data. Standard deviations on the remaining data are also provided to give an index of SST variability during each surf session.

Due to high amount of total abstracts submitted to EGU and very tight schedule, the session was merged with another session, similar, but more general in scope: OS3.1/BG3.8 Ocean biogeochemistry: novel approaches and synthesis. Poster session on benthic-pelagic coupling had a separate subtitle in the programme. In 2017 the session became a part of a bigger session "Biogeochemistry of coastal seas and continental shelves". This effort is a part of on-going collaborative activities on benthic processes and benthic-pelagic coupling research involving modelling, experimental and observational approaches.

PI Contribution The Ocean Under Stress Consortium: I have led an international collaboration of ocean researchers and stakeholders which has developed knowledge exchange at key UN events (e.g. UNFCCC COPs and SBSTA, CBD COP, UNCLOS ICP, Rio+20 since 2009). We have organised successful side-events, press events and exhibition stands at the UNFCCC COPs since 2009. These have enabled the scientists to engage delegates and participants for the last 5 years, significantly raising policy-makers' understanding of OA and other ocean stressors. The Ocean Stress Guide produced for policy makers has the support of many international and intergovernmental organisations (see last page of the document: www.oceanunderstress.com).
Collaborator Contribution Each partner contributes to the activities either in money or in kind. In kind activities will include providing scientists to work on the exhibition stands to engage the delegates. Consortium members will also apply for at least one side event at COPs giving a well-targeted outlet for KE material as well as further opportunity to engage delegates. Some consortium members will translate the guide for policy makers into the language of the country where the COP is help, others will help pay for production and printing for the guide and the exhibition stand, others will cover logistics, travel and subsistence costs. Thus the Hot Sour and Breathless: Ocean under stress (available at www.oceanunderstress.com) summary for policy makers is available in a number of languages.

PI Contribution The Ocean Under Stress Consortium: I have led an international collaboration of ocean researchers and stakeholders which has developed knowledge exchange at key UN events (e.g. UNFCCC COPs and SBSTA, CBD COP, UNCLOS ICP, Rio+20 since 2009). We have organised successful side-events, press events and exhibition stands at the UNFCCC COPs since 2009. These have enabled the scientists to engage delegates and participants for the last 5 years, significantly raising policy-makers' understanding of OA and other ocean stressors. The Ocean Stress Guide produced for policy makers has the support of many international and intergovernmental organisations (see last page of the document: www.oceanunderstress.com).
Collaborator Contribution Each partner contributes to the activities either in money or in kind. In kind activities will include providing scientists to work on the exhibition stands to engage the delegates. Consortium members will also apply for at least one side event at COPs giving a well-targeted outlet for KE material as well as further opportunity to engage delegates.

PI Contribution I am the co-chair of this project (see https://pft.ees.hokudai.ac.jp/satellite/members/index.shtml). With the goal of comparing and improving and satellite algorithms that detect phytoplankton functional types, an international effort was put together under the endorsement by the International Ocean-Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG). The project involves participants from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Portugal, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with expertise in both satellite algorithm development and in situ observations. As part of my PhD I published the first algorithm inter-comparison paper and have since worked closely with the international group, resulting in the publication of three recent peer-reviewed papers.
Collaborator Contribution The international group has has met almost annually since its establishment in 2013. Together with our partners we have contributed to the publication of three recent peer-reviewed papers and contributed to an International Ocean-Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG) Phytoplankton Functional Type report (15).

Collaborator Contribution Organising meetings and workshops, production of final report.
Impact Report produced on 'Dealing with the plastic problem: Cornwall as a world-leading example', April 2016 The first targeted workshop hosted by the University of Exeter's Marine Ecology and Conservation Network focused on the issue of plastic marine litter. 32 individuals were brought together from a range of sectors with specific interests in the issue. The aim was to begin to formulate achievable actions "Dealing with the plastic problem: Cornwall as a world-leading example." During discussions the over-arching topics covered were: 1. The key unknown impacts - social, economic and ecological. 2. The possible solutions - what is already happening and areas where there is a need for innovation. 3. The opportunities and barriers to facilitating desired changes. The group agreed that there was a strong will to progress this agenda in Cornwall but that there was a clear need for wider collaboration with additional sectors including tourism, retail and industry (production and waste management), particularly the fishing industry.

Results and Impact The second workshop of the 'Network of Experts for ReDeveloping Models of the European Marine Environment' was held on 22-23 March 2017 in Brussels, Belgium, jointly organized by DG Environment and DG JRC (Water and Marine Resources Unit) within the framework of the Administrative Arrangement (N110661/ENV.C.2/2016/733192) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MFSD). The aim of this workshop was to continue the information exchange between the Commission and marine modelling experts. Another important objective of this initiative is to narrow the gap between modellers and decision makers in order to better exploit the full utility of models. In this context, the workshop consisted of 17 presentations covering the wide use of marine ecosystem models to address several indicators of the MFSD in coastal zones and European regional seas, including assessment, indicator development and scenario building. The presentations dealt with (1) General lectures, (2) Eutrophication, (3) Hydrography, (4) Higher Trophic Levels and (5) Fish. The participants were invited to join the network informal 'Network of experts on the Modelling of the European Marine Environment (MEME)'. DG Environment and DG JRC emphasized the added value of a joint effort to further develop modelling capabilities with the objective of providing useful advice for policy makers.

Results and Impact I attended two AccessLab workshops where I was paired with a local policy maker. In the first workshop, I was paired with Tessa de G. , a counsellor from Dartmouth town council. We discussed the issue of tourist buses idling in Dartmouth town centre and I helped Tessa evidence the carbon footprint of these buses. She then used this evidence to encourage the town council to ban idling engines in Dartmouth. This small action could lead to a savings of up to 25 Tonnes of CO2 per summer. At the second AccessLab workshop, we were invited to contribute to an upcoming paper, and Tessa and I wrote a case study about our successful interaction.

Results and Impact Stakeholder workshop with participants from across the Western Indian Ocean, primarily NGOs, but also policy-makers. Workshop objectives were to: 1) Gather evidence of strategies that have been or could be used in the Western Indian Ocean to build resilience among coastal communities facing changes in coral reefs and strategies focused on coral reefs; 2) Capture lessons learnt about the different approaches, what has worked (or not), where and why. In particular understand to what extent ecosystem services language and approaches facilitate development and implementation of such strategies in the WIO context; 3) Trial a visual method of community engagement involving image exchange, participatory mapping, creation of mini coast-scapes and participatory video to assess resilience strategies. 4) Draw together a diverse group of stakeholders from across the WIO who may be interested in future collaboration. Each of these objectives were met and many participants highlighted their interest in working with us in future and for having a go at the visual method we developed

Results and Impact Mel Austen and Western Philippines University researchers (WPU) visited Purok Marikit, a village of around 400 people built on stilts in the coastal mangrove of Palawan, Philippines. WPU introduced the Blue Communities Programme and its Coordinator (Mel Austen) to an organised gathering of .around 20 people (mostly women with their children) including the leader of seaweed harvesting. This was followed by a question and answer session and discussion. The stakeholder community was very engaged. Issues we discussed included Marine Plans (they have one), the importance to them of sustainability for future generations; difficulties that there is not enough enforcement of protected areas so poachers encroach - the municipality is supposed to enforce marine protected areas but don't have sufficient resource; the coastal community would like training in marketing and adding value to fish and dried fish and other marine products; and support systems to get their products to market. They displayed some examples of creative art that had been made from washed up plastic waste which they are keen to bring to market. We discussed fish for food vs fish for cash. Fish is for cash to buy rice, villagers only eat the fish if there is more than they need for cash. Fishing is in both open coast, but close to shore, or within the mangrove.They have a middleman system who gives loans but buys fish at a cheaper rate in return. The villagers were very interested in Blue Communities and are keen to develop the opportunities it presents for improving their livelihoods.

Results and Impact News article in line with press release publicising the results of a paper published in Nature Climate Change. An international team, led by scientists from Plymouth Marine Laboratory and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, undertook an innovative study of how climate change is expected to affect the physical and biological processes in coastal and shelf regions of 67 countries, and how these may affect the social and economic prosperity of their communities. Coastal and shelf regions were specifically targeted as they yield approximately 60% of total marine fish catches.

One of the key findings of the study was that the ocean may well be able to meet global demand for fish, despite increases in human population and climate change impacts on ocean productivity, if resources are managed sustainably across the world. This and other results of the study, publicised by the press release, will feed into climate change understanding and knowledge. The team also recommended strategies to help ensure the maximum potential of fish catches across the globe is achieved, including: coupled social and ecological assessments, essential tools to guide the development of climate change adaptation measures. These recommendations were highlighted through this news article and widened the potential reach of the press release.

Results and Impact The Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) organized a training course on ocean acidification hosted by the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science, Xiamen University, China, from 19-23 October 2015. Twenty-eight participants, with a breakdown of 15 male to 13 female, from 10 Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, and Thailand) took part in the course. Participants were PhD candidates, postdoctoral scientists, researchers/faculty and management, with expertise in multiple sub-disciplines of marine biology, chemistry and oceanography.

The course aimed to provide an introduction to both monitoring and experimental ocean acidification studies, with special focus on methods and potential pitfalls. It also looked to encourage networking and collaboration on ocean acidification in Asia and familiarize participants with existing international cooperation opportunities and resources in the field of ocean acidification. The course was designed to be interactive and combined lectures, practical activities and group assignments.

Results and Impact Press release publicising the results of a paper published in Nature Climate Change. An international team, led by scientists from Plymouth Marine Laboratory and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, undertook an innovative study of how climate change is expected to affect the physical and biological processes in coastal and shelf regions of 67 countries, and how these may affect the social and economic prosperity of their communities. Coastal and shelf regions were specifically targeted as they yield approximately 60% of total marine fish catches.

One of the key findings of the study was that the ocean may well be able to meet global demand for fish, despite increases in human population and climate change impacts on ocean productivity, if resources are managed sustainably across the world. This and other results of the study, publicised by the press release, will feed into climate change understanding and knowledge. The team also recommended strategies to help ensure the maximum potential of fish catches across the globe is achieved, including: coupled social and ecological assessments, essential tools to guide the development of climate change adaptation measures. These recommendations were highlighted through the press release.

Results and Impact Timely and effective management of coastal and shelf ecosystem services requires targeted projections of ecosystem production and functioning. There are at present very few examples of where local and empirical understanding is well represented in ocean observations and models through a system approach. This workshop will explore how better representation of socio-ecological interactions will facilitate targeted delivery of meaningful and necessary new knowledge. The workshop will focus on how to communicate, through nested and coupled models, pressures and drivers (e.g. climate and environmental change, harvesting pressures and coastal use) on ecosystems to the local system level; and how this knowledge can be efficiently delivered to coastal and marine managers and industry. The workshop will also explore how changes at local and regional levels can feedback on global systems. We will identify end-users, there requirements and development strategies to deliver. We will develop case studies across themes and regions for common research and develop a framework that, through collaboration, will provide the optimum pathway to communicate coastal challenges and opportunities to a series of coastal and marine users and managers.

Results and Impact The first ever completely virtual global conference for ocean action, the Virtual Ocean Dialogues, took part (1-5 June) with Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) a co-host of the 'Deep Dive' session on Ocean Acidification and Climate- Ocean Impacts. The Dialogues, organized by the World Economic Forum and Friends of Ocean Action, fostered inclusive, constructive and practical exchanges to maintain momentum on the ocean action agenda. The overall event had over 1,300 participants from more than 90 different countries attending with live-streamed sessions reaching over 780,000 views across all platforms.

The Dialogues contributed to maintaining momentum for action for a healthy ocean. They have also drawn global attention to the ocean as a solution and how it should comprise an integral part of both the response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ocean acidification and other climate-related ocean stressors have widespread impacts on marine ecosystems which impact human wellbeing; the 'Deep Dive' session explored innovative and inclusive actions that are helping local communities, industry partners and governments find solutions-including policy actions-for addressing and adapting to impacts of ocean acidification. PML partnered with the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification in collaboration with UN Peace Boat, and DEFRA.
