A problem structuring method for ecosystem-based management : the DPSIR modelling process (2012)
Journal Article
Gregory, A. J., Atkins, J. P., Burdon, D., & Elliott, M. (2018). A problem structuring method for ecosystem-based management : the DPSIR modelling process. European journal of operational research, 227(3), 558-569. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2012.11.020

The purpose of this paper is to learn from Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) theory to inform the development of Problem Structuring Methods (PSMs) both in general and in the specific context of marine management. The focus on marine management is impor... Read More about A problem structuring method for ecosystem-based management : the DPSIR modelling process.

Transitional and coastal waters ecological status assessment: Advances and challenges resulting from implementing the European Water Framework Directive (2012)
Journal Article
Borja, A., Elliott, M., Henriksen, P., & Marbà, N. (2013). Transitional and coastal waters ecological status assessment: Advances and challenges resulting from implementing the European Water Framework Directive. Hydrobiologia, 704(1), 213-229. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-012-1276-9

The derivation, performance, sensitivity and inherent uncertainty of ecological quality indicators have become major topics in developing tools for the management of marine, transitional and coastal waters. In reviewing the advances in these waters,...

A comparative review of recovery processes in rivers, lakes, estuarine and coastal waters (2012)
Journal Article
Verdonschot, P. F., Spears, B. M., Feld, C. K., Brucet, S., Keizer-Vlek, H., Borja, A., Elliott, M., Kernan, M., & Johnson, R. K. (2013). A comparative review of recovery processes in rivers, lakes, estuarine and coastal waters. Hydrobiologia, 704(1), 453-474. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-012-1294-7

The European Water Framework Directive aims to improve ecological status within river basins. This requires knowledge of responses of aquatic assemblages to recovery processes that occur after measures have been taken to reduce major stressors. A sys...

Natural variability and reference conditions: Setting type-specific classification boundaries for lagoon macroinvertebrates in the Mediterranean and Black Seas (2012)
Journal Article
Basset, A., Barbone, E., Borja, A., Elliott, M., Jona-Lasinio, G., Marques, J. C., Mazik, K., Muxika, I., Neto, J. M., Reizopoulou, S., Rosati, I., & Teixeira, H. (2013). Natural variability and reference conditions: Setting type-specific classification boundaries for lagoon macroinvertebrates in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Hydrobiologia, 704(1), 325-345. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-012-1273-z

The ecological status classification of aquatic ecosystems using biological indices requires a number of steps, including the description and standardisation of the indices' natural variability. Here, we address this point with reference to selected...

Setting new thermal standards for transitional and coastal (TraC) waters (2012)
Journal Article
Wither, A., Bamber, R., Colclough, S., Dyer, K., Elliott, M., Holmes, P., Jenner, H., Taylor, C., & Turnpenny, A. (2012). Setting new thermal standards for transitional and coastal (TraC) waters. Marine pollution bulletin, 64(8), 1564-1579. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2012.05.019

The construction of a new generation of coastal power stations in the UK and other western European countries has highlighted the absence of robust standards for thermal discharges to transitional and coastal waters. The proposed discharge volumes ar... Read More about Setting new thermal standards for transitional and coastal (TraC) waters.

Indices, multispecies and synthesis descriptors in benthic assessments: Intertidal organic enrichment from oyster farming (2012)
Journal Article
Quintino, V., Azevedo, A., Magalhães, L., Sampaio, L., Freitas, R., Rodrigues, A. M., & Elliott, M. (2012). Indices, multispecies and synthesis descriptors in benthic assessments: Intertidal organic enrichment from oyster farming. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 110, 190-201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2012.05.028

Intertidal off-bottom oyster culture is shown to cause organic enrichment of the shore and although there are two stressors of interest (the presence of a structure, the trestles, and also the sediment and organic waste from the oysters), these can b...

Bio-sedimentary indicators for estuaries: a critical review (2012)
Book
Ducrotoy, J.-P., Mazik, K., & Elliott, M. (2012). Bio-sedimentary indicators for estuaries: a critical review. Union Océanographes de France

The rational management of the marine environment relies on the measurement of selected attributes and the detection of changes in carefully chosen parameters as the result of human activities. Following that detection, integrated management relies o... Read More about Bio-sedimentary indicators for estuaries: a critical review.
