  • a review of the tools used for Marine Monitoring in the uk combining historic and contemporary methods with modeling and socioeconomics to fulfill legislative needs and scientific ambitions
    Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
    Co-Authors: Tim P Bean, Naomi Greenwood, Rachel E Beckett, Lauren Biermann, John P Bignell, Jan Brant, Gordon H Copp, Michelle Devlin
    Abstract:

    Marine environmental Monitoring is undertaken to provide evidence that environmental management targets are being met. Moreover, Monitoring also provides context to Marine science and over the last century has allowed development of a critical scientific understanding of the Marine environment and the impacts that humans are having on it. The seas around the UK are currently monitored by targeted, impact-driven, programmes (e.g. fishery or pollution based Monitoring) often using traditional techniques, many of which have not changed significantly since the early 1900s. The advent of a new wave of automated technology, in combination with changing political and economic circumstances, means that there is currently a strong drive to move towards a more refined, efficient, and effective way of Monitoring. We describe the policy and scientific rationale for Monitoring our seas, alongside a comprehensive description of the types of equipment and methodology currently used and the technologies that are likely to be used in the future. We contextualise the way new technologies and methodologies may impact Monitoring and discuss how whole ecosystems models can give an integrated, comprehensive approach to impact assessment. Furthermore, we discuss how an understanding of the value of each data point is crucial to assess the true costs and benefits to society of a Marine Monitoring programme.

  • Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program: Flood plume Monitoring annual report 2010-11. Incorporating results from the Extreme Weather Response Program flood plume Monitoring
    2012
    Co-Authors: Michelle Devlin, Jane Waterhouse, Amelia S. Wenger, Jorge G. Álvarez-romero, Brett Abbott, Eduardo Teixeira Da Silva
    Abstract:

    The Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program (herein referred to as the MMP) undertaken in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon assesses the long-term effectiveness of the Australian and Queensland Government's Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (Reef Plan) and the Australian Government's Reef Rescue initiative. The MMP was established in 2005 to help assess the long-term status and health of GBR ecosystems and is a critical component in the assessment of regional water quality as land management practices are improved across GBR catchments. The program forms an integral part of the Reef Plan Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting Program (P2R program) supported through Reef Plan and Reef Rescue. This report details the sampling that has taken place under the Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program: Terrestrial discharge into the Great Barrier Reef (project 3.7.2b) for the 2010-11 sampling year, led by James Cook University (JCU).

  • Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program: 2009/2010 synthesis report
    2011
    Co-Authors: Johanna E. Johnson, Michelle Devlin, Vittorio E. Brando, Len J. Mckenzie, Sheridan Morris, Britta Schaffelke, Angus A. Thompson, Jane Waterhouse, Michelle Waycott
    Abstract:

    The Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program (MMP) undertaken in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon assesses the long-term effectiveness of the Australian and Queensland Government's Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (Reef Plan) and Reef Rescue initiative. Established in 2005, the program is a critical component in the assessment of GBR-wide and regional water quality as land management practices are improved across GBR catchments. The program also forms an integral part of the Reef Plan Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting Program3. The data and information presented in this synthesis of 2009/10 MMP Monitoring activities provides a foundation for the Great Barrier Reef Water Quality and Ecosystem Health component of the 2011 Reef Plan annual water quality report.

  • Community Marine Monitoring Toolkit: A tool developed in the Pacific to inform community-based Marine resource management.
    Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
    Co-Authors: Johanna E. Johnson, Eryn Hooper, David Welch
    Abstract:

    Abstract In the Pacific region, community engagement, participation and empowerment are key to effective and sustainable Marine resource management at the local level. With the prevalence of a local Marine tenure systems and the widespread decline of coastal resources, communities need to be part of the solution to facilitate recovery. A novel Marine Monitoring toolkit was developed in Vanuatu with the participation of community resource monitors to inform local management actions. The Toolkit includes simplified versions of established Monitoring methods for Marine habitats and resources to achieve a balance between robust science and methods appropriate for communities. Key to its success is that it was developed in response to community needs using a participatory approach and implemented through a series of training workshops with local environmental leaders. Of particular note, the Toolkit includes a standardised process for communities to use Monitoring results instantly, without the need for complex data analyses or external support. Using the Toolkit, communities are able to adapt their traditional management to address immediate and medium-term issues in their local Marine environment. The observed benefits of the Toolkit include increased local awareness through community-led environmental outreach, increased ownership of and motivation for local Monitoring and management, implementation of local management actions, expansion of traditional Marine managed areas, and new local ecotourism initiatives to generate revenue to support environmental stewardship.
