Southeast Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme 10 th Anniversary Annual Review Meeting: 12 December 2012 The MAREMAP Programme – the Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme’s contribution Alan Stevenson Marine Geology Team Leader (British Geological Survey) agst@bgs. ac. uk © NERC All rights reserved

Outline • Science strategy changes that led to MAREMAP • The MAREMAP partnership and how the Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme contributes • MAREMAP website and deliverables • European Marine Observation and Data Network © NERC All rights reserved

UK Marine Science Strategy 2010 -2025 • 15 -year strategy to focus marine science • Three high-level priorities • Understanding how the marine ecosystem works • Responding to climate change • Sustaining and increasing ecosystem benefits • Cross-cutting measures • Alignment of science effort • Long-term monitoring • Communications © NERC All rights reserved

UK Marine Science Strategy • • Will apply to all science funded by Government Address barriers to development of marine science Involve stakeholders Regular updated actions in Delivery Plan Enable a step-change in co-ordination of marine science Cultivate high-quality science Working with others (including international partners) ‘Marine science will have an important role to play through seabed and habitat mapping’ © NERC All rights reserved

Better integration between Government organisations • • Survey Planning and Data Acquisition • Civil Hydrography Annual Seminar (CHAS) and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency website Data archiving • Marine Environment Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centres (geology, bathymetry, oceanography, seabed species and habitats) Data Sharing • DEFRA Pan-Government Agreement Information and map products? © NERC All rights reserved

NERC response to UK Marine Strategy • • • Improve collaboration between centres/surveys BGS/NOCS/SAMS established UK Marine Environmental Mapping Programme in April 2010. Invited partnerships to help achieve goals of integrated mapping – CCO and University of Southampton; MCA, University of Plymouth and CEFAS. BGS/NOCS commit funds (3 man years each + joint surveys) and improve sharing of information Prioritise mapping areas based on stakeholder input Make use of third-party data and build on Defra datasharing agreement © NERC All rights reserved

Delivery of maps Multibeam data Data available through DEFRA pan. Government data-sharing agreement Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) The Crown Estate (TCE) CEFAS Ministry of Defence (MOD) Natural England (NE) Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) Marine Scotland (MS) Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) © NERC All rights reserved

MAREMAP Science Themes • Marine habitat mapping to underpin spatial conservation policy • Developing geological maps and models of the UK offshore area • Reconstructing the onshore-offshore Quaternary history of the UK • 4 D mapping and monitoring of seabed and sub-seabed environments • Mapping and modelling of coastal and shelf sediment dynamics • Assessment of human impacts and marine geohazards • Developing innovative technologies and techniques for marine mapping © NERC All rights reserved

Geomorphology Bathymetric data collected using multibeam echo-sounder (MBES) during 2008 -2011 as part of the Civil Hydrography Programme (CHP) on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). SW Canna collected by the Northern Lighthouse Board vessel ‘Pole Star’ on behalf of the Scottish government. Geomorphological classification of seabed features based on MBES & legacy BGS seismic.

Benefits to MAREMAP of CCO/RCMP partnership National network covering England DEFRA-funded data and metadata freely available INSPIRE and MEDIN compliant Providing data/mapping information in coastal zone where there is a gap in NERC information Links onshore/offshore for seamless geological mapping © NERC All rights reserved www. channelcoast. org

MAREMAP objectives 1. The aim of MAREMAP is to ensure: • effective co-ordination of marine mapping activities within NERC and the wider UK community • to deliver maps, scientific papers, policy advice and associated products that meet the needs of end-users operating in the marine environment. 2. A major component of MAREMAP involves undertaking seafloor and habitat mapping in order to improve the independent scientific evidence base for UK marine policy © NERC All rights reserved

Co-ordination • Ongoing discussions with potential partners, e. g. Marine Scotland AFBI (Northern Ireland) • Continued involvement in CHAS, MEDIN, DEFRA data sharing Mo. U, HBDSEG Sea-Bed Mapping Working Group, GSL Marine Studies Group • Acoustic Data Interpretation Workshop held in October • MAREMAP Conference – to be held at Royal Society of Edinburgh, November 2013 © NERC All rights reserved

Delivery of maps, science and policy advice to end users • MAREMAP Collaborative Projects: • EC-funded - INIS Hydro, EMODnet • UK /Devolved Govt. - DEFRA AUV Glider Project, Marine Scotland/JNCC surveys • NERC - Britice-Chrono (last Ice Age) • Industry – Renewables, Hydrocarbons, Aggregates • MAREMAP Knowledge Exchange post • Delivery of maps/information on MAREMAP website © NERC All rights reserved

Building 3 D geological models • 3 D mapping of the shallow sub-surface • Model developed by building a grid of intersecting subseabed cross-sections • Shallow sub-surface can include manmade structures (e. g. pipelines/cables) © NERC All rights reserved 2 D map 3 D modelling 2 D Cross-section

Web and mobile technologies • Web-mapping services can link map information • Emphasis on digital ‘intelligent publications’ • Geo. Source - system based on Media. Wiki software for management of text resources • Search facilities that scan documents in which every word is indexed • Mobile apps • Machine-to-machine enquiries © NERC All rights reserved

EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data Network) • Established in 2007 by the European Commission • As part of the Integrated Maritime Policy Action Plan • To support ‘Marine Knowledge 2020’ • To support the aims of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive to achieve good environmental status in European waters by 2020 • Preparatory phase (2009 -2012) delivered 1: 1 million scale maps of parts of the European seas for hydrography, geology, chemistry, biology, physical properties and broadscale habitats (EUNIS 3 level). © NERC All rights reserved

Next phase 2013 -2016 • Proposal submitted on 10 th September • 37 partners from 30* countries • • including all European seas. Building on preparatory phase but with more detail (1: 250, 000 scale) and added information (e. g. Quaternary geology) Emphasis on integration of coastal zone data *Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark (and Faroes), Netherlands, Belgium, France, UK, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Turkey, Cyprus and Malta © NERC All rights reserved
