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...

Compatibility of offshore energy installations with marine protected areas (2018)
Book Chapter
Thurstan, R., Yates, K., & O'Leary, B. (2018). Compatibility of offshore energy installations with marine protected areas. In K. Yates, & C. Bradshaw (Eds.), Offshore Energy and Marine Spatial Planning (214-230). Routledge

Energy generation sites are increasingly being constructed in coastal and marine spaces and the rate of implementation is likely to increase in coming decades, due to a combination of increasing energy demand and international targets to reduce green...

Offshore energy and marine spatial planning (2018)
Book
(2018). K. Yates, & C. Bradshaw (Eds.), Offshore energy and marine spatial planning. Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315666877

The generation of offshore energy is a rapidly growing sector, competing for space in an already busy seascape. This book brings together the ecological, economic, and social implications of the spatial conflict this growth entails. Covering all ener...

Models of marine fish biodiversity : assessing predictors from three habitat classification schemes (2016)
Journal Article
Yates, K., Mellin, C., Caley, M., Radford, B., & Meeuwig, J. (2016). Models of marine fish biodiversity : assessing predictors from three habitat classification schemes. PLoS ONE, 11(6), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0155634

Prioritising biodiversity conservation requires knowledge of where biodiversity occurs. Such knowledge, however, is often lacking. New technologies for collecting biological and physical data coupled with advances in modelling techniques could help a...

Stakeholder perceptions of a coastal marine protected area (2016)
Journal Article
Clarke, B., Thurstan, R., & Yates, K. (2016). Stakeholder perceptions of a coastal marine protected area. Journal of Coastal Research, 75, 622-626. https://doi.org/10.2112/SI75-125.1

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an increasingly utilised marine and coastal management tool, with rates of designation rising steeply over the last twenty years. MPAs are most commonly designated for biological conservation objectives and the manag... Read More about Stakeholder perceptions of a coastal marine protected area.

Challenges and benefits in the design of coastal walking and cycling amenities : toward a more integrated coastal management approach (2015)
Journal Article

Quantitative incorporation of fishers’ spatial access priorities into strategic conservation planning and fisheries management (2014)
Journal Article
Yates, K., & Schoeman, D. (2014). Quantitative incorporation of fishers’ spatial access priorities into strategic conservation planning and fisheries management. ICES Journal of Marine Science, 72(2), 587-594. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsu122

Both marine conservation and fisheries management are increasingly incorporating spatial tools such as marine protected areas (MPAs) and seasonal closures. To be able to develop spatial management plans that minimise negative impacts on the fishing c...
