1 Assessing the condition of your marine habitat: an example in the UK David Vaughan and Ana Jesus Joint Nature Conservation Committee, UK IMPAC 3, 23 October 2013

2 Who is JNCC? Public body that advises UK governments on UK-wide and international nature conservation. Provides evidence, information and advice towards the protection of natural resources. Key role in UK s offshore marine nature conservation, including identifying, monitoring and advising on protected areas and on the impacts of offshore industries.

3 Assessing likely condition of UK offshore habitats Aim Assess the Conservation Status of offshore Annex I Reef and Sandbanks Coral gardens JNCC Sandbank epifauna JNCC

4 Assessing likely condition of UK offshore habitats Reefs and Sandbanks in UK offshore waters 12nm British Crown and SeaZone Solutions Limited. All rights reserved. The exact limits of the UK Continental shelf are set out in orders made under section (17) of the Continental shelf Act 1964 ( Crown Copyright). The Continental Shelf Act (Designation of Areas) Consolidation Order The Continental Shelf Act (Designation of Areas) Order World Vector Shoreline US Defence Mapping Agency. Not to be used for navigation. JNCC 2013

5 Assessing likely condition of UK offshore habitats Identifying exposure to pressures to which a feature is sensitive is a means of assessing feature vulnerability to damage: Vulnerability to Pressure p 0 = f (Sensitivity & Exposure) If a feature is vulnerable not likely to be in good condition Method is scale-independent and can incorporate multiple pressures acting at the same spatial location Can inform MPA management if data available at right scale Used in SEAs to describe baseline, predict impacts and evaluate impact significance

11 Cumulative effect Habitat vulnerability assessed independently for each pressure Overall habitat vulnerability calculated by selecting worst case assessment in any given location

12 Scenario testing For example, investigating changes in cumulative abrasion as a result of different aggregation methods 12nm British Crown and SeaZone Solutions Limited. All rights reserved.

Not to be used for navigation. JNCC 2013

13 Benefits of model Generates different scenarios Multiple scales Applicable to different requirements Decision-support tool

14 Next steps To improve the robustness of the vulnerability assessments we need to improve: Resolution of habitat maps Knowledge of pressure-state relationships Spatial resolution of activities data & linkages with pressures Analysis of cumulative effects and the prioritisation of pressures
