© 2018 Elsevier Ltd All maritime states have the challenge of maintaining the environmental quality of their seas while at the same time maximising their economic potential thus requiring appropriate science, governance and management measures. In Eu... Read More about Using best expert judgement to harmonise marine environmental status assessment and maritime spatial planning.

Oil and gas infrastructure decommissioning in marine protected areas: System complexity, analysis and challenges (2018)
Journal Article
Burdon, D., Barnard, S., Boyes, S. J., & Elliott, M. (2018). Oil and gas infrastructure decommissioning in marine protected areas: System complexity, analysis and challenges. Marine pollution bulletin, 135, 739-758. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2018.07.077

Many offshore oil and gas production facilities are nearing the end of their operational life, with decommissioning now becoming a global challenge. The compatibility of decommissioning operations to marine protected areas (MPAs) creates further chal...

Towards better integration of environmental science in society: lessons from BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea environmental research and development programme (2017)
Journal Article
Snoeijs-Leijonmalm, P., Barnard, S., Elliott, M., Andrusaitis, A., Kononen, K., & Sirola, M. (2017). Towards better integration of environmental science in society: lessons from BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea environmental research and development programme. Environmental science & policy, 78, 193-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2017.10.004

Integration of environmental science in society is impeded by the large gap between science and policy that is characterised by weaknesses in societal relevance and dissemination of science and its practical implementation in policy. We analyse exper... Read More about Towards better integration of environmental science in society: lessons from BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea environmental research and development programme.

Managing the marine environment, conceptual models and assessment considerations for the European marine strategy framework directive (2016)
Journal Article
Smith, C. J., Papadopoulou, K., Barnard, S., Mazik, K., Elliott, M., Patrício, J., …Borja, A. (2016). Managing the marine environment, conceptual models and assessment considerations for the European marine strategy framework directive. Frontiers in Marine Science, 3(AUG), 1-19. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2016.00144

Conceptual models summarize, visualize and explain actual or predicted situations and how they might be tackled. In recent years, Pressure-State-Response (P-S-R) frameworks have been central to conceptualizing marine ecosystem issues and then transla...
