SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar "Natural capital approaches to understanding ecosystem service delivery"
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Network is excited to host another free Lunchtime Webinar! \n~ \nThis month Louise Anderson and Sam Matthews from the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) will give an insight into: \nNew evidence and visualisations for a universal Asset Service Matrix that informs natural capital approaches to understanding ecosystem service delivery\nIn a natural capital-based framework\, understanding the ecosystem services provided by the environment and its assets (habitats\, species\, and processes) is crucial to informing management decision-making. An asset-service matrix (ASM) is a tool used in natural capital approaches to describe and catalogue linkages between natural assets and the ecosystem services that they provide. \nJNCC’s ‘universal’ ASM unifies ecosystem service – asset evidence links for UK marine ecosystems with a common crosswalk for classification and a standardised tool to assemble linkages and enable consistent\, comparable outputs. \nThe uASM tool was first released in 2023. Now\, in collaboration with the Marine Biological Association (MBA)\, we have developed a spatial visualisation of potential ecosystem service provision across UK subtidal habitats. The uASM has also had its first major evidence update since its launch\, with over 11\,800 new ecosystem service – asset linkages from UK marine habitats and species\, representing an over 180% increase in the number of linkages. \nIn this talk\, we will discuss the recent updates and their applications to natural capital and ecosystem service approaches. This work supports marine natural capital approaches and accounting by providing an iterative\, evidence-driven tool to understand potential ecosystem service provision. The uASM tool supports decisionmakers and stakeholders to create bespoke ASMs\, account for the full range of known services\, and apply knowledge on varying levels of service delivery by marine assets. \nRegister Here!\n  \nImage credits: Unsplash

SUMMARY:SMMR Training "Grant Writing for Researchers"
DESCRIPTION:The SMMR-Net are excited to host Dr Kate Smith for this free half day training on Grant Writing for Researchers! \n‘Grant Writing’ with Dr Kate Smith covers all you need to know to write successful grant applications speedily and effectively. Offering lots of do’s and don’ts and practical tips and techniques from lived experience\, the session includes research councils and other grant-awarding bodies including philanthropic foundations\, Fellowship applications\, and collaborative applications. Exemplars from the pack are reviewed and discussion about narrative structure\, financial narratives and recommendations for outputs and dissemination are set out. Includes Q&A and direct advice on applications. \nDr Smith has had successful applications to Yale for a Fellowship and won a global competitive Fellowship competition to Harvard in 2013.\n​\nThe Training will cover the following topics: \n\nIntroducing Grant Writing as a key researcher development skill. Developing a Grant Writing strategy.\nDemonstrating the RCUK applications process (J-es etc).\nSetting out non-RCUK grant-awarding bodies.\nInternational applications including Fellowships.\nWhat does a winning grant application contain (exemplars)?\nWhat does an unsuccessful grant application look like (exemplars)?\nThe financials (Full economic funding\, research assistants\, contingencies etc).\nPutting it all together: the narrative\, the financials and the proposed outputs.\nSuccess! Responsibilities of a PI\, budget codes\, end of grant reports.\nNext steps.\nQ&A and individual advice.\n\nThere are 40 places on this course and if over subscribed\, spots will be allocated to ensure a mix of career stages and disciplines are given places on this course. There is no cost to attend this course\, but as SMMR will cover the full training fee we ask that you only register if you are able to attend the session. Deadline for registration: 16th May 2025. \nRegister Here!\n

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar "Marine Planning Process in the United Kingdom"
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Network is excited to host another free Lunchtime Webinar! \nThis month Gina Yannitell Reinhardt and Pat Danahey Janin\, from the University of Essex (Department of Government) will give an insight into: \nStakeholder perceptions of the Marine Planning Process in the United Kingdom:  4 Case Studies\nStakeholder engagement is presented as key to all stages of the marine planning process from setting priorities to evaluating and choosing plan options\, to enforcement and finally to assessing overall effectiveness.1  Stakeholders who are involved in the elaboration of marine plans are more likely to support\, engage with\, or follow the rules established through this process.2 This research draws on 71 stakeholder interviews that accompanied a survey on marine values\, preferences and trade-offs carried out within the framework of the multidisciplinary Marine Spatial Planning Addressing Climate Effects project (MSPACE). A qualitative thematic analysis of stakeholder perceptions of marine planning stakeholder engagement across the four UK nations (Northern Ireland\, Scotland\, Wales and England) brings forth the lived stakeholder experience of the iterative and on-going engagement process. \n\nOur research reveals the influence governance structures have on the stakeholder engagement process itself affecting the stakeholders’ perception of strategic coherence around marine management\, bureaucratic processes\, internal and external strains on the activity and funding levels for management and monitoring. While the UK stakeholders interviewed appreciate the opportunity to participate and acknowledge the evidence-based process and efforts\, they do not think stakeholder engagement is working across the board for all actors. Key areas of concern lie within the process itself\, the variable levels of engagement\, the risk and arbitration of conflict\, and limited resources. This study illustrates the importance of overall governance structures and the variability of stakeholder engagement across nations with particular contextual challenges in stakeholder engagement for each nation case.   \n1.

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar "Evaluating Marine (Spatial) Planning"
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Network is excited to host another free Lunchtime Webinar! \n~ \nThis month Dr Tim Stojanovic\, Senior Lecturer in Sustainable Development and Geography at the University of St Andrews\, Scotland\, will give an insight into: \nEvaluating Marine (Spatial) Planning\nMarine (Spatial) Planning (MSP) is now entering a second iteration in many parts of the world\, so now is an ideal time to reflect on what has been learned. In the first part of this seminar I will review what marine plans have aimed to achieve. In the main part of the seminar\, I will outline five key major theoretical approaches which have been used to review marine planning\, and what they reveal about the strengths and weaknesses of MSP in different nations. \nStojanovic\, T.\, and K.

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar "Precarious livelihoods in changing oceans"
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Network is excited to host another free Lunchtime Webinar! \nThis month Dr Neil Banas\, Oceanographer and Mathematical Ecologist at the University of Strathclyde\, Scotland\, will give an insight into: \nPrecarious livelihoods in changing oceans: Salmon\, sandeels\, plankton\, and people\nMarine foragers from zooplankton to whales are\, almost by definition\, dependent on a patchwork of resources: often a shifting assemblage of species; patchy and unpredictable in space; seasonal or ephemeral in time. Life for a North Sea sandeel\, in other words\, subsisting on dimly seen patches of more than a dozen plankton species\, is something like precarious employment or the gig economy: like a driver who relies on unpredictable calls from four taxi and food-delivery companies simultaneously. \n“Precarity” and foraging lifeways are old subjects in ethnography and anthropology\, and marine scientists might find inspiration in how contemporary scholars in the humanities like Anna Tsing (“The Mushroom at the End of the World”\, 2015) link these conditions and strategies to the new world of the Anthropocene. In this talk I will sketch how Tsing’s work on precarity and problems of scale might change our perspective on climate-driven declines in the food chain supporting UK wild salmon and seabirds\, suggest new quantitative modelling approaches\, and call our attention to possible refugia and modes of resilience. \n  \nRegister Here!\n
