In February we were joined for a webinar by panelists:
with some reflections by Victoria Metheringham (Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) and a discussion session hosted by Professor Dickon Howell (Howell Marine Consulting)

A closer look at how ecosystem services and functions potentially provided by marine species associated with man-made structures may contribute to environmental restoration, and explored opportunities for better understanding of ‘Net Gain’ at sea. In April we enjoyed a discussion with panelists:
with some reflections by a policy/evidence specialist from His Majesty’s Government and a discussion session hosted by Dr Henk van Rein (Howell Marine Consulting).

Examining the third impact theme on the 25th May, we focussed our discussion on ‘Offshore wind deployment’ and uncovering how our understanding of fish aggregation, ecological effects of offshore development and related connectivity of marine species associated with man-made structures may be considered alongside the deployment of the UKs offshore wind network. We enjoyed a panel discussion with:
with some reflections from Cassie Rist, Defra and a discussion session hosted by Professor Dickon Howell (Howell Marine Consulting).

‘Cumulative effects assessment’ uncovers how our understanding of multiple actors on the marine environment is important in considering the effects of man-made structures. With insights from:
with some reflections by Dr Aisling Lannin from the Marine Management Organisation and a discussion session hosted by Dr Henk van Rein (Howell Marine Consulting).

‘Commercial fishing’ uncovers how our understanding of fish populations in the marine environment interact with man-made structures, exploring the implications for commercial fisheries and wider marine management. Look forward to insights from:
with some reflections by Dr Rob Cook from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and a discussion session hosted by Dr Henk van Rein (Howell Marine Consulting).

INSITE, the independent science programme examining the effects of manmade structures on the ecology of the North Sea, is launching a series of free webinars.
A new podcast explores the growing interest in and research about man-made structures in the North Sea.
We regularly publish updates on the projects that are directly funded by the Programme and other related research. If you would like to be kept up to date, sign up for our Connections newsletter.
