Challenges
• Knowledge gaps with respect to Estuarine & Coastal
Waters – status, pressures & impacts
• Lack of resources; challenge of integrating land,
estuarine and coastal waters; need to engage a diverse
range of stakeholders
• Despite relatively strong regulatory framework (MSFD,
Habitats Directive etc.) work is piecemeal; lack of
integration

WAMM Objectives
• Drive a collaborative, closer working model between
Coastal Partnerships and (TRaC-relevant) CaBA
Partnerships
• Improve integration across terrestrial, freshwater,
estuarine and coastal environments, embed a more
strategic ‘wholescape’ approach
• Improve understanding of the state of estuarine and
coastal waters – Article 80

Benefits of
Collaboration
• Pool expertise, data,
resources (get more for
less)
• Access a wider range of
key stakeholders
• Secure funds for larger
more holistic projects
• Maximise environmental,
social and economic
benefits

Morecambe
Bay Pilot
Aims:
• Drive a collaborative approach across
the 4 partnerships, for the longer term;
Morecambe Bay Coastal Partnership, 3
CaBA Partnerships (led by Wyre, Lune
& South Cumbria RTs)
• Improve understanding of the state of
coastal and estuarine waters
• Improve understanding of the link
between freshwater/catchment
processes and the Bay

Morecambe
Bay Pilot
Why Morecambe Bay?
• Existing stakeholder engagement
strong
• Multiple Designations – SAC,
SPA, SSSI, Ramsar, Salmon
Rivers, BAP Priority Species,
critical nursery area – commercial
marine species
• Heterogeneous range of
pressures across the catchment
• Proposed new ‘Eden Project’

Morecambe
Bay Pilot
• Monitoring program that includes riverine
and estuarine water quality including
microplastics, the impact of septic tanks
and diffuse pollution, the health and
diversity of the estuarine fish
populations, and, community education
• Focus on plastics – microplastics in
water column, sediment and biota.
• Work with Lancaster University and other
stakeholders
• Plastics workshop (May 2020)

Data & Evidence
• Development of a Coastal data explorer to be
circulated to relevant partnerships nationwide
• Development of at least 3 shared information
platforms – capture local datasets, help the
participatory process
• Support building of knowledge in partnerships;
technical aspects, proposals, plans, business
cases etc
• Workshops, webinars, guidance material and
(some) 1-2-1 support

Framework for Collaborative Delivery in
the Coastal & Estuarine Environment
• Work with Coastal and (TraC relevant) CaBA
Partnerships to understand both opportunities and
challenges to working together
• Develop a model for partnership working within and
between CPs and CaBA for the long-term.
• Framework will provide a longer-term legacy for the
project, providing a roadmap for integrated delivery.

National Knowledge Exchange
• National Conference
• Workshops
• Webinars
• 1-2-1 support

Yorkshire Marine
Nature Partnership
Development
Project
29th January 2020
Heather
Davison-Smith
YMNP
Development Officer

Yorkshire
Marine Nature
Partnership
Development
Project
 Funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund until
September 2021
 Build capacity
 Engage with a wide range of organisations and
groups
 Encourage collaboration, coordination and a more
holistic approach to marine/coastal management
 Establish a sustainable finance and governance model
for the Yorkshire Marine Nature Partnership
 Funding cannot be used for statutory work, but
can be used to develop a structure for the long-term
 MPA management
 WFD objectives

Yorkshire’s
coastal water
quality
 Two water bodies: Yorkshire North and Yorkshire
South
 Both highly modified
 Both classed as ‘moderate’
 Highly populated and sensitive areas
 Three CaBA Partnerships
 Esk and Coastal Streams, Yorkshire Derwent,
Hull and East Riding
 Focus on terrestrial & riverine
 Lack of national steer for WFD objectives on coast
 Coastal WFD issues have been largely neglected
 Bathing Water Partnership – focus on public health
 Gap in management of marine environment, fails to
link terrestrial and marine ecosystems

Opportunities
for a more
integrated
approach to
coastal WFD
issues
A Yorkshire Coastal Catchment Partnership?
 Utilise CaBA funding to complement existing
partnerships and offer marine/coastal expertise
 Put marine water quality back on the regional agenda
 Integrate with other aspects of marine monitoring
 Risks duplicating current work and there could be
sustainability issues, in the long-term
Yorkshire Marine Nature Partnership already works
with the majority of organisations involved in WFD
 Ensure true integration with marine management
 Reduces the risk of duplication and makes best use of
resources
 Has marine/coastal expertise and support
 Improves sustainability and potential to link with
other regional/national projects
 Clarity needed on funding though

How can we make
the most of this
opportunity?

Working with
WAMM
 Parallel Development of WAMM and YMNP
 Opportunities to share best practice, contacts
and ideas
 Communication is key
 Avoid re-inventing the wheel and make the best
use of resources
 Nationally advocate for the importance of coastal
water quality and the opportunities for linking with
 Natural capital/ecosystem services/net gain
 Climate change mitigation
 Improved marine monitoring
 Education & research
 Biodiversity enhancements
 Restore not just maintain

Collaboration,
Collaboration,
Collaboration
Spring Workshops and Events
 11th February: How can the Yorkshire coast
benefit from a natural capital approach?
 Early March (dates tbc): Knowledge-gap
workshops
 Early April (date tbc): Project launch event
Ideas, opportunities, proposals and connections
can be shared at any time!

A Key Role in
the Tees Estuary
Philip Roxby

Founded in 1989
INCA’s aim - to avoid conflict, build trust between industrial developers and conservationists.
The INCA model - A member-funded, not for profit-making organisation, supplying ecological
advice to its membership.
Membership - 31 Businesses; 6 Nature Conservation Organisations; 3 Regulators / LA’s

• Legislative compliance (Control of Major Accident Hazard
Regulations 1999 ; Conservation of Habitats and Species
Regulations 2010)
• Development advice and support
• Biodiversity projects

1950’s Teesside
– Acute Pollution

Nature & Industry Successfully Co - exist
• A dynamic linked landscape.
• An improved river.
• A will to improve.

Designation:
Special Protection Area (SPA) - Birds
Newly adopted expansion 2020

Numbers of some species have
increased, e.g. Gadwall, Little Egret,
Common Tern, colonisation of Avocet..
Overwintering populations of some species
have declined, e.g. Knot, Dunlin, Shelduck.

‘A New Approach’
The Tees Estuary Partnership
• Launched in January 2016. A mandate to develop a common vision for
the estuary to meet industry and wildlife needs.
• Membership comprising industrial organisations, regulators, local
authority, and nature conservation NGOs.
• Creative solutions, flexibility and pragmatism from all involved. Working
towards a Net Gain for biodiversity, with the help of developing a Habitat
Banking process for the estuary to the mutual benefit of wildlife and
stakeholders.

Biodiversity:
Seal monitoring project
• Seal project began in 1989
• Small but important population of Harbour Seal (breeding) & Grey Seal
• Project aims to raise the profile of seals in order to conserve them
• Healthy seals are indicative of a cleaner environment

Important Saltmarsh Species from the Industrial Brinefields
of the Tees Estuary
Dog’s Tooth Lacanobia suasa (D.&S.)
Saltern Ear Amphipoea fucosa (Tutt)
Crescent Striped Apamea oblonga (Haw.)
Ongoing moth surveys -
Climate change indicator.

Thank you for your attention. Hopefully this
has helped
you to appreciate how INCA helps to achieve
balance between the needs of industry and
nature
conservation in the Tees estuary.

Develop a Healthy and
Vibrant River Tyne Estuary

www.groundwork.org.uk/northeast
Partnership Aims
• Develop a Partnership
– A strong, strategic, influential partnership
invested in long term environmental and
economic enhancement of the iconic estuary
• Estuary Enhancements
– Ecological and biodiversity improvements, meeting WFD* objectives and
environmental net gain. Such as bank softening of estuary edges to reduce
silting, pollution and improve water quality
• Wider Benefits
– Realising multiple wider benefits that joined up action can achieve. Such as
natural capital gains, health and wellbeing improvements, education, social,
cultural and heritage benefits.
*Water Framework Directive - DEFRA commitment
requiring all rivers to achieve good water quality status by
2027.
Royal Quays Marina, North
Tyneside

Partnership Pledge• The Tyne Estuary Partnership (TEP) now consists over 60 strategic organisation that aspire
for long term environmental and economic enhancement of the River Tyne
• The TEP responds to the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan; to create connections
between existing initiatives and real practical actions
• It has a bold vision for developing a healthy and vibrant river estuary and the pledge
acknowledges that change cannot be achieved by a few regulatory tweaks, or any single
organisation. Solutions are multi-sector and highly interconnected
• This Pledge builds on the work of the existing River Catchment partnerships declaration
and the TEP Feasibility Study Report which can be found on the Partnership website
• All organisations with a vested interest in the Tyne Estuary can sign the Pledge.

Types of Enhancement
Bank Re-Profiling
• Using existing structures,
e.g. disused timber jetties
• New retaining structures
• Flood relief & habitat
creation

Greening of Estuary

Framework For Collaborative Working
Amy Pryor

A Simple Spectrum of
Collaboration

Minimum effort/risk/reward
Might be a meeting, a regular call
or a simple exchange of data
Very little time spent together
e.g. agreeing to share data you
have about a common issue such
as litter survey data

Increasing effort/risk/reward
This could be a dedicated meeting or
call to discuss a particular issue.
Spending more time together
e.g. From our exchange of data, we’ve
noticed a gap in knowledge. Parties
agree to contact people in their
network to find data and agree to
share it.

Deepening relationships
This could be a series of dedicated
meetings or calls actions to deliver
key elements to co-deliver something
of common interest.
Spending regular dedicated time
together.
E.g. Now we’ve plugged the gap in
data, we need to convert this into a
GIS so we can interrogate it. We
agree to share existing resources to
do this together and share findings.

Maximum effort/risk/reward
This is where we enter the zone of co
design and could include co-location e.g.
working together in the same office for
slots of time regularly to work out
something gritty and understand each
others resources and resource needs.
Investing larger, regular time together to
realise an ambition.
E.g. Now we have our GIS, we can see
where the real gaps are. We agree to co-
create and co-deliver to get the info we
need including funding bids.

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
• European Marine Sites: Special
Areas of Conservation (SACs)
and Special Protection Areas
(SPAs);
• Marine Conservation Zones
(MCZs)
• Sites of Special Scientific
Interest (SSSIs)/Areas of
Special Scientific Interest
(ASSIs);
• Marine Components of Ramsar
sites;
• Marine Nature Reserves
(MNRs)
Combined these make up a
network of inshore and offshore
MPAs in UK waters

Fisheries
• Inshore Fisheries and
Conservation Authorities
• Byelaws – e.g. oysters, fish
nursery areas
• Shellfish Waters Directive
– Shellfish water protected areas
are areas designated for the
protection of shellfish growth and
production. Good water quality is
important for the production of
high quality shellfish.

Marine Plans
• Marine planning under MCAA
• Seeks to replicate the planning
process on land and integrate with
it
• Applies to all tidal waters including
tidal limits of urban estuaries
• Applies to any activity within a
certain distance of the marine plan
area

25 Year Environment Plan
• Thriving Plants & Wildlife
• reversing the loss of marine
biodiversity and, where
practicable, restoring it
• increasing the proportion of
protected and well-managed
seas, and better managing
existing protected sites
• making sure populations of key
species are sustainable with
appropriate age structures
• ensuring seafloor habitats are
productive and sufficiently
extensive to support healthy,
sustainable ecosystems

Framework for Collaborative Delivery
Review of Coastal and Catchment Based (CaBA) Partnerships*
[*TrAC relevant]
Aim: Improve understanding of their capacity, expertise, areas of focus, barriers
to and opportunities for delivery, nature of working, governance arrangements,
opportunities and challenges to working together.
Objective: to help shape an improved model for partnership working within and between Coastal
Partnerships (CPs) and for the long-term.
Method:
• annual reporting data (2018 & 2019)
• CPN survey data (2018)
• Interviews
– Pilot 1-1s
– Regional workshop ‘couples’
– National perspectives: Estuaries & Coasts Working Group
• Interactive sessions at regional workshops.
Output: ‘Framework for collaborative delivery in the coastal and estuarine environment’ will provide a longer-term legacy for the project, providing
a roadmap for integrated delivery.
