| Title | Intro to Earth System Models and Climate Change - BBC Radio Devon Christmas lecture 2021 |
| Description | BBC Radio Devon asked me to do a Christmas lecture this year! What a privilege! It's not every day that you get the opportunity to bore the wider public with 14 minutes about earth system models, marine biology, CMIP6 and the IPCC. In the first part of the lecture, I talk about how models are made, what models look like, how models are joined together. In the second part, I talk about how we make models look realistic, how humans can impact the climate, how we forecast the future climate, and what we can do now. The original was broadcast on the 28th of December on BBC Radio Devon. |
| Type Of Art | Film/Video/Animation |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Impact | The original lecture was broadcast between christmas 2021 and new years. I subsequently added an video to the audio and uploaded it. |

| Title | Portrait of a scientist - in "Around the Edge of COP" sketch book by Lucinda Rogers |
| Description | I was sketched by artist, Lucinda Rogers, at COP26. Lucinda Rogers works from life in the tradition of the artist as reporter. She immerses herself in an environment and records straight from eye to paper, which gives her drawings a particular spontaneity. Her work records the intimate details and broad views of the changing city she lives in, London, and others she is drawn to including New York and Marrakech. Alongside her own work she has had a prolific illustration career working regularly for the mainstream press and countless other publications and companies, often being sent out to draw on location as a reportage illustrator. |

| Description | a) The ERSEM source code has been fully revised, documented and made publicly available under a GNU Lesser General Public License (http://www.shelfseasmodelling.org/Download-code-en ). b) A set of model bench marking scripts have been developed to facilitate the comparison of model outputs with data and are available with the standard ERSEM release. c) Provision of the carbonate chemistry, air sea gas exchange, benthic sub-model and validation methodologies to the marine biogeochemistry components of UKESM. d) The potential impacts of CO2 leaks resulting from carbon capture and storage on benthic ecosystems have been assessed. |
| Exploitation Route | The models PML develops are used by a number of stakeholders a) UKMO - operational marine forecast b) Cefas (environmental policy and management ) c) UKESM - (next IPPCC inter-comparison experiment) |
| Sectors | Energy Environment |
| Description | Results have informed national and international policy development, industrial decision-making and operational commercial activities. The long term investment into model development, in particular the coupling of carbon dioxide chemistry with biological and 3D physical processes has enabled PML to quickly address several key issues that are crucial to the efficient and economic development of carbon capture and storage in the UK and further afield. In particular with the UK now developing commercial scale CCS the need for scientific support has been urgent. The model has enabled PML to successfully bid into the ETI Marine Monitoring and Verification (MMV) Project, predicated on designing and building an AUV based monitoring system to detect CO2 leakage in the marine environment as well as the Horizon 2020 funded STEMM project, developing novel methods of monitoring. The model has been used to construct baselines of spatial and temporal variability of CO2 associated parameters (pH and pCO2) in the absence of sufficient observational data, which enable the development of monitoring strategies. Outputs from PML modelling have been used to provide advice to governments about pressures on fisheries under climate change, for example a Policy Note for the Government of Bangladesh. Outcomes from PML modelling have informed the Environmental Audit Committee Enquiry into the Environmental Impact of Microplastics and contributed to a UK Government POSTnote on Marine Microplastic Pollution. Outcomes from PML modelling have underpinned a formal response by Plymouth Marine Laboratory to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee enquiry on Ocean Acidification. PML supplied an expert witness, Dr Carol Turley who gave oral evidence to the committee on the 2nd March, 2017. |

| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The approach reported here is most suited to new farms during the licensing application period and the development of the business plan. The level of detail in the model results can provide a comprehensive evaluation of the potential impacts over a wide range of ecosystem characteristics. The approach can be customised to look at site specific characteristics (presence of deposition sensitive reef species such as pink sea fans (Eunicella verrucosa)) and can be further coupled to higher trophic level model systems such as Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) to explore wider interactions with the regional ecosystem (i.e artisanal fisheries). The model can be run for long periods (i.e. multiple growth cycles) to evaluate cumulative impacts (long-term community shifts driven by benthic-pelagic coupling or selective feeding on microzooplankton) as well as evaluating recovery pathways. The model system can be used to explore different production scenarios to feed into the company business plan as well as into the licensing procedure. These scenarios can include changes to the farm spatial configuration (i.e. orientation, rope density) to minimise long-term impacts and increase production, but also implement management approaches (i.e. staggered production) that could help maximise both production and economic profit (e.g. sustained production over longer periods to avoid market saturation and drop in prizes) |

| Title | FVCOM matlab toolbox |
| Description | Development of an FVCOM (Finite Volumen Coastal Ocean Model) matlab toolbox for the automatic generation of input files for FVCOM and for postprocessing and plotting of FVCOM simulation results. The implementation is domain independent. This toolbox is updated regularly and distributed under MIT license. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2013 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This toolbox is now being distributed together with the FVCOM code by the FVCOM development team. As such, it has given PML, in particular the fine-scale team at PML, world-wide exposure. In our experience, this toolbox has reduced the time required for the implementation of FVCOM in a new domain by more than 70%. It has also reduced the time needed for evaluating and modifying existing FVCOM implementations and it has probably made the process more accessible to new users. We believe the increase in the use of FVCOM in UK science is partly a direct consequence of this toolbox having been made publicly available and continuously updated. |

| Title | Fish abundance and catch data for the Northwest European Shelf and Mediterranean Sea from 2006 to 2098 derived from climate projections |
| Description | The dataset contains model projections of fish catch and abundance in European seas out to 2098 produced using the Size Spectra - Dynamic Bioclimate Envelope Model (SS-DBEM). The SS-DBEM is a mechanistic model, which means that it takes into account aspects of ecology (e.g. habitat preference, migration) and physiology (e.g. growth and reproduction) to determine biomass and distribution of fish species in response to changes in the environment (e.g. temperature, competition with other species, food availability). The SS-DBEM projects the impact of changes in the environment (e.g. warming, deoxygenation) and human activity (fishing pressure) on the abundance and biomass of modelled species. All this makes it a state of the art model in regard to projecting fish distribution and trends in both abundance and catch in response to climate change. Model outputs consist of fish abundance (number of fish per grid cell) and fish catch (number of fish caught per grid cell) considering three different fishing activity scenarios, termed the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY). Whilst the model units are expressed as "Number of individuals", they are not to be used to predict actual future stocks but rather numbers relative to the initial starting values of the model. This is because the model was not intialised with actual fish numbers and subsequently the significance of this dataset is to show temporal and geographical trends, relative to other years and other grid points, in response to changes in the climate and the applied Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY). In order to assess the impact of climate change, simulations under two future climate scenarios based on different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) for future greenhouse gas concentrations are conducted: the intermediate scenario, RCP4.5, in which greenhouse gas concentrations peak around 2040 before declining mainly due to successful mitigation measures in place; and the more pessimistic scenario, RCP8.5, where greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise throughout the century. Fishing activity was defined according to the MSY under these environmental conditions. The combination of MSY and RCP scenarios included in this dataset are: Global sustainability: RCP4.5 with a MSY of 0.6 (fish stock is managed globally toward sustainability) World Markets: RCP8.5 with a MSY of 0.8 (fish stock is managed globally to avoid overfishing) National Enterprise: RCP8.5 with a MSY of 1.1 (fish stocks are managed at the national level resulting in overfishing) The simulations were run using inputs from two marine hydrodynamic-biogeochemical models: the POLCOM-ERSEM and NEMO-ERSEM models. These models were driven by one Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) global climate model (GCM) projections with downscaled atmospheric data from a regional climate model (RCM), the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) Rossby Centre Regional Atmospheric Model (RCA4). Using only one of the many possible combinations of GCM-RCM pairs leads to an incomplete estimate of the true uncertainty in the outcome in a changing climate by, most likely, indicating a smaller spread of outcomes than if the estimate were based on a larger ensemble of such GCM-RCM combinations. This does not necessarily mean a reduction in the true uncertainty, but simply an incomplete estimate of it. |

| Title | Parameterization of zoobenthic response to low pH in ERSEM benthic model |
| Description | Zoobenthic functional groups of suspension-feeders and deposit-feeders were divided into tolerant and sensitive sub-groups according to their uptake response to stress induced by low pH. These responses summarize variable strategies implemented by zoobenthos and reported in the recent literature. Each subgroup exerts three stages of response to low pH: decreased uptake due to pH stress, shutting-down (no uptake) and increased morality rates at extremely low pH. Tolerant group remains more active at lower pH compared to sensitive one. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | This work allows for simulation of responses in zoobenthic activity to low pH in the context of ocean acidification or potential leakage of carbon dioxide from CCS sites. Formulation of responses was implemented in consultation with experimental scientists and thus fosters collaboration between modelling and experimental scientific communities. Furthermore, there is a potential to extend current formulation for more general research of zoobenthic reaction to environmental stress. |

| PI Contribution | We have set up a UK FVCOM interest group that includes representatives from SAMS, NOCL and Marine Scotland. We held our first meeting at PML in September 2012. Since then, we have setup a wiki and SVN repository for sharing common tools related to FVCOM and model implementations to foster collaborations and enhance our understanding of the model's capabilities. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The partners have contributed with intellectual inputs and shared experiences. |
| Impact | The partnership is mostly focused on the use of FVCOM and associated models (wave, sediment and ecosystem models) and provides a platform for exchange of ideas and experiences. As such, this is a multidisciplinary collaboration involving physical oceanography, ecology and ecosystem modelling and numerical methods. We have produced a Wiki (web based how-to manual) where the partners exchange their experiences and solutions to common problems in detail. Improvements to the code and/or analysis tools are also documented here. We also host an SVN repository (version control software) of the FVCOM code together with each partner's updates to the code. The exchange of information has enabled a more robust and consistent approach to implementations of FVCOM in different regions of the UK. |

| Impact | Lake Urmia is a salt lake in northwestern Iran not far from the Turkish border. It is believed to be one of the largest salt lakes on the planet. The lake has been drying out and the surrounding desert has been expanding in recent years, having a serious impact on the climate and environment of the region. In the last twenty years it has shrunk by 60% due to climate change and damming of the rivers flowing into the lake. PML is working within a NIVA led project to develop and apply modelling tools for the lake in order to help assess the environmental impact of a proposed plan to possible environmental effects of transferring water from the Caspian Sea to salt Lake Urmia to prevent it from drying out. |

| PI Contribution | Launched in April 2107, The mission of the partnership is to develop and promote marine products and services, with a focus on national and public benefit. It member are PML, NOC, Cefas and UKMO. NPOP focuses on the integration of models, observations and scientific understanding, and how these can be used to produce good quality information and advice about the marine environment. The partnership itself does not provide services, but facilitates the partners to develop these services, and helps them to be used as widely as possible and to the best effect. PML works with the partnership to provide ecosystem models for the NW European shelf operational forecast system and with UKMO to further develop operational data assimilation. This is managed through a join position between to 2 organisations. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Setting priorities for research and observation collection is key to the success of ocean prediction services. The National Partnership of Ocean Prediction has an important role in understanding and defining these priorities. Our activity groups provide the fora in which the work of the research community can be coordinated, to ensure we work in a complimentary way to maximise the impact of our research and services. They are also the route through which we can understand where the gaps in understanding, tools or observations lie. This informs our own priorities, as well as providing appropriate guidance for the observations community and others. The partnership provides a means of engaging with users so that they have a good understanding of the services we provide, and we have a good understanding of how we need to develop our services to meet their needs. As a partnership we look for funding to underpin the work needed to develop the services, and have a stronger, more coherent, voice than we do as individual groups. |

PML works with the partnership to provide ecosystem models for the NW European shelf operational forecast system and with UKMO to further develop operational data assimilation. This is managed through a join position between to 2 organisations. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Setting priorities for research and observation collection is key to the success of ocean prediction services. The National Partnership of Ocean Prediction has an important role in understanding and defining these priorities. Our activity groups provide the fora in which the work of the research community can be coordinated, to ensure we work in a complimentary way to maximise the impact of our research and services. They are also the route through which we can understand where the gaps in understanding, tools or observations lie. This informs our own priorities, as well as providing appropriate guidance for the observations community and others. The partnership provides a means of engaging with users so that they have a good understanding of the services we provide, and we have a good understanding of how we need to develop our services to meet their needs. As a partnership we look for funding to underpin the work needed to develop the services, and have a stronger, more coherent, voice than we do as individual groups. |

| Title | FAMB ERSEM |
| Description | The Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM): a Fortran 2003 programming framework for biogeochemical models of marine and freshwater systems. FABM enables complex biogeochemical models to be developed as sets of stand-alone, process-specific modules. These can be combined at runtime to create custom-tailored models. This approach has been adopted to implement several large ecosystem models in FABM, including ERSEM (marine), and AED and PCLake (freshwater). FABM has also been used to model suspended sediment and redox chemistry. FABM has been coupled to several hydrodynamic models, including GOTM, GETM, GLM, MOM4 and MOM5. It also comes with a stand-alone box model driver. FABM uses modern software standards: it is coded in object-oriented Fortran 2003, has a build system based on CMake, and uses YAML files for configuration. FABM makes it easy to partition complex biogeochemistry over many building blocks, called "model instances" in FABM. The fabm-ersem port currently makes everything that can be considered as "integral physical particle" a model instance. |

| Description | This is code to be used within the FABM framework and so it is available for multiple hydrodynamic models (FVCOM, ROMS, NEMO and others) and can be downloaded from the main fabm repository in github. The code enables the user to simulate the dispersion of organic matter (OM) originating from salmon fish cages practices (but can be use for land derived OM from permafrost erosion) and its interaction with antiparasitic substances used to treat salmon lice infections. The code is generic and can be used for substances such as Emamectin benzoate, Diflubenzuron or Teflubenzuron. The code was first use in 2018. It has been updated in 2019. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | The code enables predictions of how use of antiparasitics can transfer to sea bed sediments and estimates the concentrations that can exist in the environment given the simulated hydrodynamics. |

| Title | Generic prokaryote |
| Description | A new formulation describing the metabolism of a generic, non photosynthetic prokaryote (bacteria and archaea) has been implemented in the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM). The new formulation implies that different metabolic pathways (aerobic heterotrophy, anaerobic heterotrophy and chemolithotrophy) act simultaneously. However, the relative magnitude of each pathway dynamically varies depending on the environmental conditions (i.e. O2 concentration, DOM and NH4). Thanks to this feature, the model is able to simulate in a dynamic way important processes such as denitrification, nitrification and N2O production. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2015 |
| Impact | The new formulation substantially improves the representation of the nitrogen cycle in ERSEM |
| Title | Mixothrophy |
| Description | A new formulation describing mixotrophy has been implemented in the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM).

| Title | Salinity stress |
| Description | A simple model describing the relationship between growth and salinity in a generic species of the genus Dunaliella (green algae) has been developed. The new formulation implies an "optimal" level of salinity under which Dunaliella species manage to optimise their growth. When environmental salinity diverges from the optimal level both hyposaline and hypersaline stress are described by the model (by decreasing the photosynthetic rate). The new model has been implemented in the primary production module of the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model. In particular the new formulation has been applied to the phytoplankton functional type "P2" which in ERSEM describes the dynamics of phytoplankton ranging from 2 to 20 um in diameter (nanoplankton). The model was preliminarily run in a zero-dimensional configuration in order to reproduce a batch culture experiment reported in literature |

| Impact | With this new formulation ERSEM can better describe plankton dynamics in environments in which salinity plays an important role in shaping phytoplankton community (e.g. estuaries) |
| Title | Silica dissolution in the water column |
| Description | A new formulation describing the dissolution of particulate organic silica in the water column has been developed and implemented in the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM). Silica dissolution is assumed to be dependent on temperature and on the ratio between silica and carbon in the particles. Si:C ratio represents the magnitude of the organic coat which reduces the dissolution of silica (i.e. low Si:C ratios decrease the dissolution rate). In this way, the model accounts for the role played by pelagic bacteria in this process. Bacteria, in fact, are able to increase the Si:C ratio in particulate organic matter by only using C and leaving Si. |

| Title | Trait Explorer |
| Description | For many applications we need to know the traits of marine species. This is crucial for understanding ecosystem function and building ecosystem models. Unfortunately, while literature and online databases are replete with trait values, we are still a long way away from a complete characterization of every species. The Trait Explorer web service addresses this issue by estimating traits for any species, through a form of "automated expert judgement" that combines large datasets with published trait values and the latest taxonomic information. Its results account for taxonomic relationships between species (related species tend to have similar traits) and power law-like relationships between traits (e.g., organism mass is a good predictor for other size metrics and many physiological traits). |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2017 |
| Impact | The Trait Explorer web service is used in the NERC/Defra Shelf Seas Biogeochemistry (SSB) programme and the Marine Ecosystem Research Programme (MERP) to estimate the size and carbon mass of a wide variety of marine species, which in turn is used for validation of model results, notably of the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM). |

| 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 | Presentation at the ASLO Aquatic Sciences meeting, 26 Feb - 3 Mar 2017, Hawaii: "How to capture species succession and evolution in large-scale biogeochemical models?" Abstract: In nature, part of the impact of environmental change on ecosystem functioning is cushioned by changes in species composition and by genetic evolution: the community adapts. These responses can reduce the sensitivity of mass and energy fluxes to change - a key parameter in climate change research. The potential influence of these responses is greatest in the ocean, where the cycling of matter and energy is dominated by small, fast reproducing species. However, the models that routinely predict the response of marine systems to climate change do not describe species diversity and evolution in any detail, and are not easily amended to do so. Recent "trait-based" approaches provide a conceptual framework for the modelling of species diversity, but their present implementations remain computationally expensive and unsuitable for the dynamic introduction of new types, implicit in genetic evolution. I discuss how these problems can be addressed by leveraging concepts and methods from the field of "adaptive dynamics". By describing the intra- and interspecific diversity in terms of the distribution of a few key traits, the dynamic structure of the ecosystem can be modelled with a few variables. As shown with a canonical ecosystem model in a spatially resolved world ocean, this approach remains viable in the presence of advective and diffusive transport of biota, and smoothly incorporates genetic evolution as another source of biodiversity, linked to reproductive effort. These provide a starting point for the modelling of species diversity and evolution in computationally efficient manner. |

| Results and Impact | PML contributed to the NERC HPC Strategy Town meeting in November 2018. Exponential growth in the use of high performance computing (HPC) by environmental scientists is associated with increasing numbers of researchers carrying out simulations of natural phenomena to increasingly higher resolution, with entirely new environmental processes. The research community needs to understand the consequential implications for HPC resource provision, feed them into national infrastructure developments, and deal with any constraints arising. Accordingly, NERC is developing an HPC strategy to embody community requirements and delivery aspirations. As a first step to the development of the strategy, NERC organised a one-day community event to provide NERC with evidence and advice on the future direction of HPC provision in the environmental sciences community. |

| Results and Impact | This press release was intended to make widely known the published results of the first ever sub-sea carbon dioxide impact, detection and monitoring experiment relevant to Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) in sub-seabed storage reservoirs. These results were published in Nature Climate Change and found that, for a leak of this scale, the environmental damage was limited; restricted to a small area and with a quick recovery of both the chemistry and biology. The experiment was part of the Quantifying and Monitoring Potential Ecosystem Impacts of Geological Carbon Storage (QICS) project, led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory. This press release highlighted the recommendations for CCS operators developing risk strategies, which were made by the QICS team following the results of the experiment. The findings of the study published in Nature Climate Change will contribute to the growing knowledge base necessary for optimal deployment of CCS as a climate change mitigation measure; in particular for the regulatory requirement for monitoring. This press release publicised these findings and recommendations. Also, there were several media enquiries and articles published as a result of this press release: 30-Sep Leaking CO2 Fails to Cause Marine Catastrophe Scientific American 30-Sep Carbon Capture leak test shows minimum impact Western Morning News 01-Oct Scientists probe leak risk from seabed CO2 stores Planet Earth Online 06-Oct Sub-sea CO2 leaks have 'minimal' impact tce today 08-Oct World-first experiment on a controlled sub-seabed CO2 leak demonstrates minimal environmental impact and rapid recovery Imarest |

| Results and Impact | In order to effectively disseminate the outcomes of the QICS project to relevant stakeholders (~50 individuals), including industry, regulators and policy makers a workshop was held in London (8th May 2014 at the Westminster Conference Centre). Within this a number of presentations covered the potential impacts of a leak from transported or geologically stored CO2 in terms of areal significance, chemical changes and biological consequences and then discussed best practice for monitoring and baseline studies. Finally discussions on follow-up research needs were conducted. The activity was supported by the development of a range of media including project brochures, factsheets, and interviews. As a result of this activity, the outputs of the QICS project have been used by both the FEED studies currently developing plans for full scale Carbon Capture and Storage in the UK. In particular the QICS project participants have been assisting Shell with the development of their environmental monitoring and impact plans. The workshop has also generated stakeholder interest in a repeat experiment, and this has feed into a submission to the NERC SPAG. |

| Results and Impact | Towards an end-to-end European Ocean Observing System (EOOS) There is a growing recognition of the need to build a comprehensive, end-to-end European Ocean Observing System (EOOS) to coordinate the currently fragmented and complex ocean observing capacity across Europe. In 2015, EMB and EuroGOOS launched a joint activity on EOOS as a framework for advancing Europe's capability for ocean observation. On 12-13 May 2015, a joint workshop was held in Brussels bringing together experts from the marine scientific and operational oceanographic communities to develop a roadmap, time-line and governance structure for EOOS. This was convened with the long-term goal of implementing a flagship initiative building on existing resources and commitments and aligning with international developments such as the Framework for Ocean Observing.

| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| 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 | 50 people attended the event including 30 academics and representatives from industry and third sector and environmental managers. The main objective was to examine the tidal range resource over a variety of timescales, including climate change, and how the resource can best be optimized and the environmental impacts of multiple tidal lagoons within a region. Resulting from discussions three draft review articles have started; one on resource and optimization and two on the impacts of tidal lagoons. It is hoped that these will feed into the forthcoming independent review by the Department of Energy & Climate Change into the feasibility and practicality of tidal lagoons in the UK. |

| Results and Impact | The 'Kick-off workshop of the Network of Experts for ReDeveloping Models of the European Marine Environment. Eutrophication modelling and Descriptor 5 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive' was held on 20-21 January 2016 in Brussels, Belgium, jointly organized by DG Environment and DG JRC (IES -Water Resources Unit) within the framework of the Administrative Arrangement NoENV.C.2/2015/070201/705766 (Deliverable 2.2) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MFSD). The aim of this workshop was to learn about existing modelling work and to draw lessons for the build-up of the European modelling effort. In this context, the workshop consisted of 18 presentations on the use of marine ecosystem models to address indicators within the Eutrophication descriptor (D5) of the MFSD in coastal zones and European regional seas, including assessment, indicator development and scenario building. Some other descriptors were also covered by the presentations and discussions. The presentations dealt with (1) South European regional seas (Black and Mediterranean Seas), (2) Atlantic shelf areas, (3) North Sea and Baltic Sea and (4) General lectures. The workshop also served as the inception meeting of the newly created informal network of experts on the Modelling of the European Marine Environment (MEME). The participants were invited to join the network DG Environment and DG JRC emphasizing the added value of a joint effort to further develop modelling capabilities with the objective of providing useful advice for policy makers. This was well received by the attendants. |
