    SYSTEMIC INSIGHTS INTO THE MANAGEMENT OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT Jonathan P. Atkins a, Daryl Burdon b, Mike Elliott b and Amanda J. Gregory c a Centre for Economic Policy, The Business School, University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK b Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS), University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK c Centre for Systems Studies, The Business School, University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK ABSTRACT This paper centres on the application of The Ecosystem Approach in the management of the marine environment, involving the identification of multi-stakeholder needs and uses of ecosystem services. The Ecosystem Approach provides ‘a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way’, while ecosystem services are ‘the conditions and processes through which natural ecosystems, and the species that make them up, sustain and fulfil human life’. Ever increasing and diverse use of the marine environment is leading to human-induced changes in marine-life, making necessary the development of a marine policy formation process that recognises and takes into consideration the full range of stakeholders and results in policy that addresses current, multiple, interacting uses (e.g. the EU’s Maritime Policy and Marine Strategy Framework Directive). Taking a systemic approach, incorporating an understanding of marine ecosystem structure and functioning, we identify the diversity of stakeholders and their uses of the marine environment within the framework of ecosystem services (production, regulation, cultural and over-arching support services). Informed by the DPSIR (Drivers – Pressures - State Change – Impact - Response) approach - a framework for assessing the causes, consequences and responses to change – we assess the outcomes of competing human uses and emerging pressures on the marine environment, the complexity of decision making in this area, and provide a process for informing choices in conflict resolution involving a diversity of stakeholders.

  • Surface and Subsurface Fault Mapping in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK
    Surface and subsurface fault mapping in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK. Vernon, R., Ford, J., Watkinson, K., Haslam, R., Woods, M., Farrant, A., Burke, H., Davis, A., Lear, J., Tarnanas, H. & Wrathmell, E. © UKRI All rights reserved Background • The Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group crops out across a significant area of southern and eastern England and extends offshore into the North Sea. • The Chalk is an important source of groundwater across England, however the different properties of the Chalk Group Formations and the effects of dissolution, karstification and faulting on groundwater flow are little understood. • In this project we have used a multidisciplinary approach to map a fault network from the North Sea which intersects one of the UK’s major aquifers and determine the importance of the fault network for groundwater flow within the region. • The Yorkshire Wolds is a region of low hills located east of York, between Scarborough and Hull, in northeast England, which is underlain by bedrock of the Chalk Group and are transected by two major fault zones. • The Chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds is a principal aquifer and the main source of water supply in East Yorkshire. The aquifer and associated groundwater system is directly influenced by the properties and distribution of the Chalk formations, faulting and superficial deposits that locally conceal the Chalk. • Current geological datasets for the region are based on historical mapping and do not reflect modern geological understanding, or consider more recent surface and subsurface data. • To rectify this a collaborative geological study between BGS and the Chalk Group Environment Agency has integrated a wide range of surface and subsurface data, literature and direct field evidence to create a revised geological interpretation for the northeastern Yorkshire Wolds, including the DEM from NEXTMap Britain elevation data from Intermap Technologies ©NEXTMap®.

  • Scarborough's War Years, 1939-1945
    SCARBOROUGH’S WAR YEARS - 1939-45 by Richard James Percy PAGE 1 It would be impossible to recollect all the activity that went on in Scarborough during the Second World War. Shops and businesses had to adjust to the war situation. Many closed earlier than usual because of the blackout. The hospital only allowed two visitors to each patient per day and only one at a time by the bedside. Everyone had to carry their gasmasks, although people soon became tired of doing so and the habit slowly petered out. Everyone had an identity card which had to be on the person at all times. The hotels and boarding houses were full of visitors on the first Christmas of the war but this was all to change as one by one they were taken over by the military for the billeting of the armed forces. Scarborough had become a prohibited area and it was difficult for anyone to enter without a lot of questions being asked. Later on in the war visitors did start to arriving for their holidays but it was very hard for them to find accommodation. Many shops and houses had their windows and other breakable things taped up to stop blast damage in case of air raids. The Floral Hall, Gala Land and the South Bay Pool had wire netting in vunerable places. The inhabitants of Scarborough attended dances at the Olympia – the Spa was requisitioned by the military – and although the streets were full of soldiers and a blackout, there was never one case of assault or any trouble.
