Application deadline
Developing the scientific tools to provide assessments. Inshore
waters traditionally provided coastal communities with their main
livelihood, for example though the use of fisheries resources, tourism,
recreation etc. The sustainability of such coastal communities has been
undermined by intensive exploitation and increased degradation of
inshore environments. Increased leisure use of inshore waters, a greater
appreciation of 'locally sourced' food, a drive towards sustainable
fisheries and the increased protection afforded coastal areas have
changed the economic landscape for coastal communities in recent years.
This project will develop and test a tool-box of techniques to assess
the sustainability of human activities in the inshore marine
environment. The initial focus will be on biological sustainability of
shellfish resources but the project will also consider the social and
economic aspects of sustainability. Development of the tool-box will
involve sampling, literature review, modelling of stock dynamics and
widespread consultation with local stakeholders on the issues that they
face.
