SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking: Language as a Barrier - "I heard what you said\, but don't know what you mean"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ocean Partnerships Network for another online speed networking event over lunchtime! After a 10 minute introduction to this month’s theme\, the speed networking begins and you will be paired up with another person for 5 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. A fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! \nOur aim is to connect people and foster collaborations. Ocean Partnerships recognises the need for practitioners from different disciplines to interact\, exchange experiences and ideas. Based on key marine related themes\, our events are designed to provide opportunities for people from the sciences\, arts\, policy\, private and public sectors to discuss topics of interest\, network and just have fun! \n \nThis month’s theme has been chosen by Prof David Paterson\, MASTS Executive Director at the University of St Andrews: \nLanguage as a Barrier – “I heard what you said\, but don’t know what you mean” \n“The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language”. This quote\, attributed to Irish writer George Bernard Shaw\, encompasses the challenges sometimes faced by people from different backgrounds\, trying and failing to communicate effectively despite using the “same” language. This rings most true in areas where joint efforts are additionally affected by differing stakeholder backgrounds\, as for example with marine conservation. Why is it\, that people united by a common interest (as in our case\, the marine environment) and language (English) struggle to communicate? \n(Picture: Unsplash)

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar: Social Influence Modelling - A case study of Tasmanian salmon aquaculture
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources Net are excited to host Corrine Condie and Scott Condie from the Australian research organisation CSIRO Environment\, with a talk on ‘Using social influence modelling to plot a pathway out of marine-based conflict (a case study of Tasmanian salmon aquaculture)’. \nAbstract: \nConflict between stakeholder groups around social and environmental issues can fragment communities and disrupt development. For the past decade\, salmon farming has globally been one of the most contentious issues within the aquaculture sector. \nAttempts to mitigate these conflicts have often been counterproductive due to high levels of distrust between stakeholder groups. A lower risk approach is to evaluate strategy options within a virtual socio-ecological system prior to real-world implementation. Using the Tasmanian salmon debate as a case study\, we describe results from a social influence model representing key stakeholder groups and the effects of broadcast media. This approach has allowed the responses of different stakeholders and their contribution to overall conflict to be explored and assessed under alternative communication strategies. Reductions in community conflict were achieved through improved marine literacy\, collaborative learning amongst key stakeholder groups\, and broad dissemination of information relating to industry performance on social and environmental issues. While applied here to salmon aquaculture\, the modelling approach and lessons on effective communication strategies are likely to be relevant to a broad range of marine-based conflicts. \n  \n \nCorrine Condie – CERC Fellow\, CSIRO Environment (Hobart) \nCorrine’s background is in social research\, stakeholder communication\, and marine-based conflict. In particular\, the structural and mechanistic changes that are required for industry to operate successfully in the new paradigm of complex communication networks\, transnational debate and increasing public unrest. Her research uses social network analysis\, multi-attribute modelling\, and dynamic network modelling to understand the changes observed in communities grappling with marine-based conflict. Recently\, her research has focussed on developing a framework to reduce stakeholder conflict in Tasmanian salmon aquaculture. \n  \n \n  \nScott Condie – Senior Principal Research Scientist\, CSIRO Environment \nScott is a mathematician with interests in modelling complex socio-ecological systems with application to management and governance. He has extensive experience in modelling physical\, ecological and social aspects of marine systems and has led the development of a range of decision support tools used within industry\, government and education. His research has been applied extensively in fields such as coastal management\, aquaculture\, conservation management and climate adaptation.

SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "How can engaging with the arts and humanities shape our science?"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ocean Partnerships network for another speed networking event over lunchtime! After a 10 minute introduction to this month’s theme\, the speed networking begins and you will be paired up with another person for 5 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. A fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! From academics\, policymakers and science communicators to people from the industry and more. \n \nThis month’s theme has been chosen by Neil Banas\, oceanographer and mathematical ecologist at the University of Strathclyde: \n“How can engaging with the arts and humanities shape our science?” \nVery often\, artists are placed in the role of translators or spokespeople for finished scientific ideas. What would it look like to let engagement with the arts and humanities help shape scientific idea generation and research practice? What would the benefits be\, and what are the barriers? What are the situations or problem areas where a more symmetrical relationship between practice-based arts\, humanities\, and science could have the biggest impact? \nPicture: Unsplash

SUMMARY:Skills for Collaborative Inter-Disciplinary Research Training
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand – this is the third time the Sustainable Management of Marine Resources-Net are hosting this training. Dr Frank Siedlok (Heriot-Watt University) will run two half days of online training from 13:00 – 16:30pm on 6th and 7th of June 2023. This will be online via Microsoft Teams. \nThe course will cover 4 main sections:\n \nDisciplines and interdisciplinarity:\nExploring what we understand by a discipline and being aware of how disciplinary communities function is an essential starting point. It helps us understand (i) the nature of our own expertise that can be of use in collaborative projects and (ii) how and why our terminologies and processes might be unfamiliar to other collaborators from other disciplines. \nUnderstanding drivers of\, and barriers to\, IDR\nIDR is more difficult than disciplinary research. In this part of the workshop we explore why that is the case and why\, nevertheless\, there are good reasons for engaging with this kind of work. Participants will be able to consider how IDR lines up with their own motivations and interests\, as well as beginning to think about how to overcome barriers. \nIDR practices and skills (part 1)\nThe primary assets collaborators bring to IDR are their disciplinary expertise and enthusiasm. But building IDR projects and communities from scratch requires thoughtful leadership. In this part of the workshop we look at the practices that help researchers grow and maintain IDR projects and build a collaborative community. \nIDR practices and skills (part 2) and conclusion\nIn this final part of the workshop\, the focus is on how researchers can begin to translate the practices and skills into their own contexts.  In this way\, the workshop group can begin to operate as a ‘community of (IDR) practice’ or problem-solving network of contacts for mutual support as new projects are explored in the future.

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar - Simple\, elegant and useless: are we using the right models?
DESCRIPTION:*Sign Up Here* \nSMMR are pleased to host Jon Pitchford for the 2023 Webinar Series. \nThe talk will be 20-30 minutes long followed by 15 minutes of questions. \nPeople like simple stories. They are easy to understand\, efficient to communicate\, and can be a very useful tool for getting people to agree. Unfortunately\, if the stories are too simple then the agreements reached might actually be harmful. I will attempt to illustrate these ideas using mathematical models (which are just “stories”) for marine systems. I will cover some old descriptions of larval foraging and recruitment dynamics\, where accidentally using the wrong model can lead to interesting insights in evolutionary ecology. This may or may not involve a dead gorilla. I will then describe some of the problems with Maximum Sustainable Yield agreements in fisheries\, and discuss how developing size-based models and data could lead to practical new approaches to management. \nJon Pitchford is the PI of the SMMR project “Pyramids of Life: working with nature for a sustainable future”.

SUMMARY:SMMR Webinar - Innovative software solution for the accurate and efficient capture and reporting of fisheries data
DESCRIPTION:*Register here* \nSMMR are hosting OLSPS for a talk on “Innovative software solution for the accurate and efficient capture and reporting of fisheries data”. \nThe Webinar will take place on 5 April 2023 from 1-2pm with a 30 minute talk\, followed by a Q&A. \nIn recent years two technologies have emerged to monitor commercial fishing activities. These technologies are a) electronic logbooks (eLogs) for the electronic reporting (ER) of compliance reports\, and b) electronic monitoring (EM)\, which refers to the use of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) in order to record fishing activities on the vessels. While both ER and EM technologies are found to be very effective in their task\, they still suffer from several significant shortcomings. EM technology is mainly hampered by the huge amount of video footage it produces\, which makes the processing of its data very tedious and labour-intensive process. Electronic logbooks on the other hand\, while capable of recording many data types with great detail\, suffer from a possible lack of accountability\, since a lot of data must be entered manually and certain entries cannot be verified\, leaving room for misreporting. \nIn order to make the scanning of EM videos more practical and focused\, OLSPS has developed a conceptual integration model between eLogs and EM cameras\, which has maned iEMR – Integrated Electronic Monitoring and Reporting. This solution allows images recorded by cameras to be viewed and stored on the Olrac Dynamic Data Logger (OlracDDL) dashboard and to use the vessel date and time of activity as a common key that allows images taken by the cameras to be easily matched to data recorded and reported by the Olrac eLog. Examples of activities that are important to keep track of are discarding events\, excessive catches\, bycatch\, and marine life interactions. The ability to match recorded images to relevant eLog records means that clear discrepancies between what the skipper reports and the actual visuals can be easily identified and scrutinized. \nOLSPS is also experimenting with the integration of user-activated and supervised\, AI-based\, image processing technology into their iEMR solution which will reduce further the time of video scanning.

SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships - Marine stewardship\, community engagement and creative practice
DESCRIPTION:*Sign-up here* \nJoin the Ocean Partnerships network for another speed network event over lunchtime. After a 10 minute introduction to this months theme you will be paired up with another person for 5 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. This is fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network from academics\, policymakers\, artists\, science communicators\, people from industry and more.. from different disciplines! \nThis months theme has been chosen by Maja Rimer from Creative Carbon Scotland. Title: Marine stewardship\, community engagement and creative practice At Creative Carbon Scotland we believe in that collaborative\, creative approaches can facilitate knowledge sharing and problem solving\, especially when it comes to the climate crisis. \nThrough creative practice and place-based activities\, we can connect climate science with lived experience and build resilience and empower communities. For this session we will therefore invite people to reflect on: How can we improve marine stewardship through community engagement and creative practice? \nAn example of one of our collaborations: Seas of the Outer Hebrides Bringing community members together though creative practice was at the heart of the Seas of the Outer Hebrides project\, which was created in partnership with Marine Protected Area Management and Monitoring (MarPAMM). \nSeas of the Outer Hebrides brought in an inclusive\, creative approaches to build a shared vision for Marine Protected Areas in the region – by involving artists and creative practices to help explore the cultural dimension of residents’ relationship to the sea. The aim was to create a different and accessible way to work with the Outer Hebrides’ communities. Creative approaches can allow us to gain a deeper understanding of communities’ priorities for the marine environment while bringing in peoples’ relationship to the sea.

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar - Economic\, social and environmental impact assessment of MSP for UK marine-related industries
DESCRIPTION:*Sign Up Here* \nSMMR are pleased to host Alberto Roca for the 2023 Webinar Series. \nThe talk will be 20-30 minutes long followed by 15 minutes of questions. \nTalk Title: Economic\, social and environmental impact assessment of MSP for UK marine-related industries \nMarine spatial planning (MSP) is a process of coordinating the use of marine resources in an attempt to achieve economic\, social\, and environmental objectives. This is an extremely challenging goal\, and the benefits of MSPs are contested. In this seminar\, we develop a marine input-output model for the United Kingdom. We use this model to explore relationships between greenhouse emissions\, employment and gross value added in marine-related sectors and other industries. Based on our results\, we identify three clusters of marine-related sectors\, each characterised by a different relationship between environmental and socio-economic goals. Analysing the clusters could allow marine spatial planners to understand better how their policies will impact communities and the broader environment and prioritise accordingly. \nI am Alberto Roca\, an early environmental economist interested in Multi-sectoral Input-Output Models\, Regional Models\, and Environmental and Economic Impact Assessments. Currently\, I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the University of York\, working on the MSPACE project in which our research group conducts the socio-economic and environmental economic impact assessment on UK marine-related industries due to climate change.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Flexible Coding for Qualitative Marine Sustainability Research
DESCRIPTION:SMMR-Net are hosting Liliana Bastian and Dr. Sien van der Plank who will deliver a 2-hour workshop on 13th December 2022 from 14:00 -16:00. \nThis two-hour practical introduces flexible coding for the context of collaborative\, qualitative research in marine sustainability. Flexible coding is a contemporary approach to qualitative data analysis developed by Deterding and Waters (2018) that is especially well suited to collaborative and group coding work. \nThe discussion-based session aims to aid researchers in social and ecological sciences in applying deductive and inductive coding to identify and characterise themes in marine social science data. Participants will a) gain an understanding of flexible coding and assess its usefulness for their own research\, b) practice collaboratively developing a code book and coding using sample data\, and c) learn strategies for managing and documenting collaborative coding processes. Researchers in social and ecological sciences with a range of experiences in qualitative coding are welcome. \nThe session is designed for those with limited coding experience\, but it may also be a useful refresh for those who haven’t done any coding in a while. \nProgramme: \n2:00-2:10 Introduction and Session Overview\n2:10-2:30 Flexible Coding\n2:30-2:50 Break-out sessions: Coding Practice\n2:50-3.10 Coding Discussion and Reflection\n3:10-3:15 Break\n3:15-3:30 Break-out sessions: Coding Practice\n3:30-3:45 Coding Discussion and Reflection\n3:45-3:55 Strategies for Managing Collaboration\n3:55-4:00 Closing \nThere are 16 places on this course and open to all career stages. If oversubscribed\, priority will be given to those with current or planned marine social science research\, for which flexible coding could be applied. \nThere is no cost to attend this course and if you are offered a place\, you will be contacted no later than Dec 8th with attendance details.
