SUMMARY:FITF Talk - Balancing energy and food security in UK waters
DESCRIPTION:In this session we are sharing insights into how fishing organisations and associations are working with government and statutory bodies to plan and prioritise competing demands such as fishing and offshore wind in our coastal waters. \nManaging the space around the UK is a difficult job\, with a rising number of marine protected areas and renewable energy developments\, it feels like areas designated for fishing are reducing in size. FITF are joined by Mike Roach from the NFFO and a number of expert speakers discussing these topics\, along with existing case studies from Scotland and Southwest England\, the mapping of fishing activities and engagement with fishing communities. \n  \nWho’s Talking? \n\nNational Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations – Mike Roach\, the Deputy Chief Executive and a background in research and representing industry in fishing associations at a regional and national level\, including the Holderness Fishing Industry Group and the Shellfish Association of Great Britain.\n\n\nScottish Fishermen’s Federation – Elena Balestri\, Senior Fisheries Policy and Science Manager\, to discuss the indirect impacts of offshore wind on fisheries ecology and fishing communities.\n\n\nCornish Fisheries Producers Organisation – Chris Ranford\, CEO\, and David Stevens\, CFPO member\, and skipper of the Crystal Sea\, who have worked closely with The Crown Estate over developments in the Celtic Sea.\n\n\nRetired Fisherman\, Independent Consultant and Thanet Fisherman’s Association – Merlin Jackson has worked with fishing fleets to support engagement with developers\, and sits on the Fisheries Liaison Offshore Wind Working Group.\n\n\nPlymouth Marine Laboratory – Claire Szostek\, Senior Scientist. Recently Claire’s research has focussed on the social and ecological impacts of offshore wind on commercial fishermen.\n\n\nDefra – Edd Hind Ozan\, Head of Marine and Fisheries Social Science manages research projects working with the industry\, such as the mapping of socially and culturally significant fishing grounds.\nMarine Management Organisation – Rachel Brown\, Head of Marine Planning and Strategic Renewables Unit\nAnd more TBC!\n\n  \nWhat are FITF Talks: \nFITF Talks are focused on furthering knowledge and creating connections with people in the fishing industry. These informal conversations\, hosted by fishermen and industry people\, encourage participation within a fishermen-led space\, and invite experts on different topics to share knowledge and take your questions. Topics are suggested by industry\, and the focus is on learning and creating a dialogue between people who are passionate about the future of the industry.

SUMMARY:Webinar - launch of new Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations
DESCRIPTION:The new Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations (JUST)\, funded by UK Research and Innovation’s Building a Green Future strategic theme and the Economic and Social Research Council\, are pleased to invite you to join their launch webinar. \n\nThe webinar will be held on Tuesday 15 July 2025\, 14.00-15.00 BST (UTC+1). Please see further information below. \n\nIf you would like to attend\, please register via Eventbrite here. \n\nJoining up for just outcomes: an agenda for research and action on sustainability transformations \nThe JUST Centre puts justice at the heart of sustainability transformations: the Centre’s ambition is to support a fair transition to net zero by transforming the processes and structures that leave many people and places out of the Low Carbon Living agenda. The Centre is accelerating research-informed action that engages\, enables and empowers marginalised people\, to develop methods\, tools and strategies for thinking and action on sustainability. By ‘marginalised’ we mean those facing socio-economic\, infrastructural\, geographical and political inequalities that inhibit their participation in climate mitigation and adaptation\, while also increasing their vulnerability to climate change impacts. ‘Joined-up’ means bridging the gaps between myriad\, but presently disconnected\, evidence bases\, interventions and policies focused on sustainability and net zero transitions. By connecting sustainability with justice\, research with action\, and constituent knowledge producers and community beneficiaries with one another\, JUST will advance the shared evidence base and accelerate the capacity for action towards sustainable futures for all places and communities. \nJoin us for a webinar featuring keynote remarks by Julian Agyeman\, an internationally-recognised leader in the transdisciplinary field of environmental social science who developed the concept of ‘just sustainabilities’ 25 years ago. This concept\, and the work it has inspired\, has been influential to the JUST Centre’s vision. \nA panel of three JUST Centre co-investigators\, Rebecca Willis\, Stefan Bouzarovski and Lucie Middlemiss will join Julian in conversation about the history of just sustainabilities research and how we can mobilise it in the current context to shape JUST Centre’s research agenda. Broad themes include challenges of engaged\, place-based research using mixed methods and challenges of democratic participation in the context of current political climates in the UK and beyond. \nThe webinar will be chaired by JUST’s Director Sherilyn MacGregor.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Recent developments in the sustainable management of marine resources
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will present and explain cause-consequence-response frameworks and the way these relate to managing marine\, coastal and estuarine areas. It will then show the importance of determining the footprints of activities\, pressures\, and natural and human effects and assessing cumulative effects. Following this\, it will consider the footprints of management responses and will demonstrate horizontal management across sectors and vertical management from the local to the global and vice versa. It will look at the importance of transboundary implications of marine management\, considering connectivity\, coherence\, and equivalence. Finally\, it will consider the way in which success in marine management is measured\, including indicators of success. Examples from Europe and North America will be used\, but the topics are relevant to marine areas worldwide.

SUMMARY:Launch event of the open-access Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to the launch of the Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool\, a new open-access engineering tool that delivers fast and accurate predictions of nonlinear wave loading on monopile-type offshore wind-turbine foundations. The Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool is developed by a consortium led by the Universities of Bath\, Oxford\, and Strathclyde\, and is one of the outcomes of the EPSRC project EP/V050079/1)\, Severe Storm Wave Loads on Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations (Sea-Swallows). \nLaunch event details: \nTime and Date: 11:30 – 16:00 (BST)\, 23 June 2025 \nVenue: This is a hybrid event.  The main venue is at the University of Bath\, you can also join the launch event online. Locations and the online meeting link will be sent separately later. \nRegistration: Attendance is free; please register by 15 June\, 2025. Please register here: https://forms.gle/rt9stV8jby3DuuWm7 \nAbout the Sea-Swallows engineering tool \nSea-Swallows Engineering Tool is a new open-access engineering tool that delivers fast and accurate predictions of nonlinear wave loading on monopile-type offshore wind-turbine foundations. It is based on a Machine Learning engineering model\, trained over a large number of experiments and numerical simulations\, that uses a “Stokes-type” force formulation. This Stokes-GP model approximates the higher-order force harmonics (2nd – 5th) by correlating them to powers of the linear force\, as discovered through our large-scale experiments. By incorporating all force components\, this Sea-Swallows Engineering Tool is capable of providing more accurate severe storm wave loading predictions over a wide range of sea-states. \n

SUMMARY:MASTS Open Forum Session "Anthropogenic Energy in the Marine Environment"
DESCRIPTION:The MASTS Numerical & Experimental Hydrodynamic Modelling (NEHM) Forum is excited to host this free Open Forum Session with several interesting talks: \n~\nEnergy Pollution by Offshore Wind Farms\nSpeaker: Dr Rory O’Hara Murray (NEHM Forum Convenor; Scottish Government) \nOffshore wind farms are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in our shelf seas. The recent ScotWind leasing round has set the scene for development in deeper North Sea waters. These deeper (>60 m) shelf seas are less dynamic than the shallower nearshore environment and undergo seasonal stratification\, which in turn triggers the development of fronts\, the spring plankton bloom\, and enhances primary productivity across the shelf seas. Offshore wind farms structures could enhance vertical mixing though turbulence production\, which has the potential to change shelf sea stratification. This brief introduction will set the scene for the open forum session exploring anthropogenic energy in the marine environment. \nEnergy Pollution by Ships\nSpeaker: Dr Momchil Terziev (NEHM Forum Steering Group; University of Strathclyde) \nShips interact with the marine environment in a variety of ways including physical and chemical pollution. While chemical pollution is understood and increasingly regulated\, the physical effects of the injected energy resulting from ship operation is not understood well. Energy pollution by ships includes the production of waves and injection of turbulence which may persist for regionally relevant timescales. This turbulence has been shown to mix layers of the ocean\, affecting the natural pycnocline alongside inducing mortality in micro and macro organisms. This talk will summarise existing evidence and research of energy pollution by ships and discuss current approaches to modelling the phenomenon and related challenges. \nImproving tidal energy capture by a partial-width array using Flow Alteration by Introduced Roughness (FLAIR)\nSpeaker: Dr David Woolf (NEHM Forum Steering Group; Heriot-Watt University) \nThe most efficient means of harnessing power from a current in a channel (e.g. tidal stream) is by a “tidal fence” across the entire width of the channel. However\, that is almost always impractical and therefore various array designs that leave “gaps” are proposed. Currents tend to avoid the turbines and pass through the gaps reducing efficiency. Array efficiency can be improved by obstructing flow through the gaps. To maintain navigation and migration\, obstruction by roughening the seabed is the most likely option; this leads to “FLAIR” as a concept. The physical concept is quite simple\, the practical and social parts are far more difficult! Roughening can be in the form of large solid objects or debris such as concrete or scrap metal\, or can be through deliberate cultivation of seabed flora such as kelp.  In either case\, the approach may be antagonistic to conservation legislation\, though in one sense this is perverse since without FLAIR the flow in the gaps (and therefore\, “the environment”) will be altered by the array. Suggestions are welcome. \n~\nRegister Here!\n~\nImages: Unsplash

SUMMARY:Workshop on the contribution of UK Arctic Ocean science to the International Polar Year 32/33
DESCRIPTION:NOC Southampton \nIn-person (with online option) \nRegistration deadline 16th May \nREGISTER HERE \nPre-meeting questionnaire (open to all) \n  \nThe purpose of this workshop is for the UK Ocean Science community to discuss and then draft a prospectus document outlining the priority Arctic research questions the community would like to address during the run up to\, throughout and beyond the International Polar Year 32/33. Additionally\, to identify what unique strengths and technologies the UK has to help fill these knowledge gaps. \nThe second day of the workshop will be dedicated to writing groups\, one for each of the priority research questions identified – from both the pre-meeting questionnaire (HERE) and day one discussion. By the end of the meeting\, each group will have produced draft text and sourced supporting figures for the prospectus. \nPost meeting\, the draft will be opened for comments and suggestions from everyone\, regardless of whether they were able to attend the workshop or not. It will then be shared with UK funders (UKRI\, FCDO\, DSIT\, ARIA) and potential international programmes with whom we would like to collaborate (e.g. Arctic 2050\, Norway). It will form a basis from which wider integration with terrestrial\, atmospheric and cryosphere communities can be built\, e.g. at the UK Arctic Science Meeting in September in Northumbria. \nTo ensure balanced community and ECR representation\, and to ensure that the size of the writing groups is efficient and effective\, if the number of registrations from individual institutes becomes overwhelming\, we may contact individuals or teams and ask that each institute selects a smaller number of individuals to attend in-person. Please wait for confirmation of in-person attendance before finalising travel arrangements. \nThe workshop will be open to hybrid attendance and contributions on both days. \n
