Ocean zoning for conservation, fisheries and marine renewable energy : assessing trade-offs and co-location opportunities (2015)
Journal Article
Yates, K., Schoeman, D., & Klein, C. (2015). Ocean zoning for conservation, fisheries and marine renewable energy : assessing trade-offs and co-location opportunities. Journal of Environmental Management, 152, 201-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2015.01.045

Oceans, particularly coastal areas, are getting busier and within this increasingly human-dominated seascape, marine biodiversity continues to decline. Attempts to maintain and restore marine biodiversity are becoming more spatial, principally throug...

Incorporating the spatial access priorities of fishers into strategic conservation planning and marine protected area design : reducing cost and increasing transparency (2014)
Journal Article
Yates, K., & Schoeman, D. (2015). Incorporating the spatial access priorities of fishers into strategic conservation planning and marine protected area design : reducing cost and increasing transparency. ICES Journal of Marine Science, 72(2), 587-594. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsu122

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly used to address multiple marine management needs, and the incorporation of stakeholders into the MPA planning and designation processes is considered vital for success. Commercial fishers are often the s...

The nature and extent of evidence on methodologies for monitoring and evaluating marine spatial management measures in the UK and similar coastal waters: a systematic map (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Anthropogenic degradation of marine ecosystems is widely accepted as a major social-ecological problem. The growing urgency to manage marine ecosystems more effectively has led to increasing application of spatial management measures (mar...

Simple models for complicated epidemics: Epidemiologically-based surveillance for early detection of invading plant diseases (2024)
Thesis

Plant disease epidemiology is the study of plant pests and their related diseases in populations of plants over time and space. In plant disease epidemiology, mathematical and computer simulation modelling is often deployed to provide insight into th...

Co-location of fisheries and offshore wind farms: current practices and enabling conditions in the North Sea (2023)
Journal Article

Current expansion in offshore wind farm (OWF) development is resulting in increased
spatial conflicts with other uses. In the North Sea, marine spatial planning (MSP)
processes include co-existence strategies, with co-location between fisheries and... Read More about Co-location of fisheries and offshore wind farms: current practices and enabling conditions in the North Sea.

Dune slope, not wind speed, best predicts bare sand in vegetated coastal dunes. (2023)
Journal Article
Smyth, T., Rooney, P., & Yates, K. (2023). Dune slope, not wind speed, best predicts bare sand in vegetated coastal dunes. Journal of Coastal Conservation, 27, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11852-023-00957-9

Globally vegetation cover on coastal sand dunes has increased since at least the 1950s. With the aim of restoring or increasing biodiversity, land managers in several countries have removed vegetation and/or reprofiled dune slopes to reinvigorate geo...

Extent, accuracy and repeatability of bare sand and vegetation cover in dunes mapped from aerial imagery is highly variable (2022)
Journal Article
Smyth, T. A., Wilson, R., Rooney, P., & Yates, K. L. (2022). Extent, accuracy and repeatability of bare sand and vegetation cover in dunes mapped from aerial imagery is highly variable. Aeolian research, 56, 100799. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aeolia.2022.100799

Vegetation cover on coastal sand dunes has been increasing worldwide since at least the 1940s. Analysis of aerial and satellite imagery has been the principal source used to measure this change, however no studies have systematically evaluated the ac...

The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 : opportunities and challenges on the path towards biodiversity recovery (2021)
Journal Article

The European Union (EU) has committed to an ambitious biodiversity recovery plan in its Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the Green Deal. These policies aim to halt biodiversity loss and move towards sustainable development, focusing on restoring de...

Advancing the use of evolutionary considerations in spatial conservation planning (2020)
Thesis
Robertson, S. Advancing the use of evolutionary considerations in spatial conservation planning. (Thesis). University of Salford

The existence of life on earth as we know it relies on a diversity of life. Biodiversity underpins vital ecosystems services globally, at all spatial scales, and yet is being lost at an alarming rate. Current extinction rates are estimated to be 100-...

Can ecological models be transferred in time and space? An investigation using a range of contrasting taxa (2020)
Thesis
Copping, J. Can ecological models be transferred in time and space? An investigation using a range of contrasting taxa. (Thesis). University of Salford

Investigating the relationship between organisms and the environment has long been a focus of study in the conservation and ecology fields. Central to this research is the use of ecological models to explain, predict and project species distributions... Read More about Can ecological models be transferred in time and space? An investigation using a range of contrasting taxa.

Marine social sciences: Looking towards a sustainable future (2020)
Journal Article
McKinley, E., Acott, T., & Yates, K. (2020). Marine social sciences: Looking towards a sustainable future. Environmental Science and Policy, 108, 85-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2020.03.015

Marine and coastal environments provide extensive and essential ecosystem services upon which much of humanity relies, yet the incorporation of human dimensions into marine and coastal policy and management has historically been lacking. As efforts t... Read More about Marine social sciences: Looking towards a sustainable future.

What is the nature and extent of evidence on methodologies for monitoring and evaluating marine spatial management measures in UK and similar coastal waters? A systematic map protocol (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Anthropogenic degradation of marine ecosystems is widely accepted as a major social-ecological problem. The growing urgency to better manage marine ecosystems has led to the increasing application of ‘spatial management measures’ includin...
