Sustainable Development of Scotland’s Seas Securing Progress in Uncertain Times

What is Sea Scotland? Sea Scotland is a new conference series started in 2016, which aims to bring together key actors and facilitate debate on critical issues facing the marine environment in Scotland and to bring about progressive marine policy and management. It is co-ordinated by a Steering Group comprising Scottish Environment LINK and their Marine Group Members, MASTS, SNH, and the Universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The inaugural Sea Scotland conference held in June 2016 provided a multi-interest forum for dialogue and knowledge-exchange in relation to the development of marine planning in Scotland.

Sea Scotland 2017 Sea Scotland 2017 aims to build on the successes of the inaugural Sea Scotland conference bringing together a wide range of marine stakeholders, including sectoral interests, conservation bodies, academics and international experts along with national government, regulatory authorities and national consultees. We will be discussing the implications of the vote to leave the EU on environmental policy in the marine area to secure continued progress to sustainable development. The Objectives of the Sea Scotland 2017 event are to:

Advocate a progressive approach to sustainable development and marine stewardship during the current period of constitutional uncertainty.

Review national and international mechanisms that can support progress towards sustainable development while Scotland’s relationship with the EU is evolving.

Facilitate dialogue among Scotland’s marine stakeholder community to consider opportunities and risks, and to develop ideas to positively shape our nation’s changing relationship with the world.

JONATHAN HUGHES

Chief Executive, Scottish Wildlife Trust Global Councillor, IUCN

Jonathan Hughes is the CEO of the Scottish Wildlife Trust, a leading environmental charity in Scotland. Before being appointed Chief Executive,

Jonathan was the Trust’s Director of Conservation and Deputy CEO. Jonathan is also an elected global Councillor of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world’s oldest and largest conservation organisation. In 2013, Jonathan co-founded the World Forum on Natural Capital, a global initiative led by the Scottish Wildlife Trust in partnership with United Nations Environment Programme, IUCN, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the Natural Capital Coalition.

Jonathan Hughes Keynote - Sustainable Development Goals in Scotland In September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a progressive plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. Within the Agenda are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to end all forms of poverty and call for all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. On January 1st 2016, the SDGs officially came into force and, although not legally binding, governments are expected to take ownership and establish national frameworks for delivering the SDGs.

The SDGs cover a wide range of social, economic and environmental areas, but most pertinent to the marine environment is SDG 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources. Contained within SDG 14 are a broad range of targets that cover environmental protection, resource management, market access, tourism, and scientific knowledge and research capacity, all geared towards improving our management of marine resources and the ecosystem services they provide.

The Scottish government was one of the first to sign up to the SDGs. Over recent years, the Scottish Government has demonstrated a desire to lead on environmental issues, from actions towards reducing our carbon footprint and sourcing renewable energy to establishing the MPA network. In a post-Brexit world, the SDGs provide a framework with a set of realistic targets that can form the foundations of a sustainable and progressive Scotland.

REGIONAL MECHANISMS TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN SCOTLAND COLIN F. MOFFAT Head of Science, Marine Scotland Science Colin was appointed as Head of Science for Marine Scotland in April 2011. He has held the Honorary position of Professor of Analytical and Environmental Chemistry at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen since 2005 and is also an Honorary Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. Initially studying chemistry, Colin completed a PhD in heparin biochemistry, including links to tumour angiogenesis, before joining the MAFF Torry Research Station where he investigated the structure of fish lipids and their nutritional benefits, ultimately becoming Head of Lipids and Nutrition at the renamed, Food Science Laboratory Torry. He went on to investigate contaminants in fish, farm animals and food products, partly as a result of being involved in the response to the grounding of the MV Braer in 1993 on the south coast of Shetland and the Sea Empress oil spill in 1996. Both these incidents involved the use of chemical and sensory assessment. Colin moved to the Marine Laboratory where he investigated the concentrations and biological effects of contaminants on marine animals, including those arising from oil spill incidents. Over the last 12 years, Colin has maintained a strong scientific interest, both in ecotoxicology and the use of fatty acids to assess the trophic structure of marine animals. He has also taken on an increasing advisory role, specialising in assessment methodology, including in response to both chronic and acute pollution, using chemical and sensory assessment. Between 2005 and 2010 Colin lead the process to produce a decadal assessment of the status of the North-East Atlantic. Closer to home, Colin played a fundamental role in an assessment of UK seas (Charting Progress 2) and in the production of Scotland’s Marine Atlas which was published in 2011. Colin is currently in the final stages of leading on the production of an assessment of the North-East Atlantic in 2017 (publication date 27 June 2017); this assessment utilises the new indicators and targets developed under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and will provide some strong and clear key messages.

COLIN MOFFAT: OSPAR - remit, influence and contribution towards delivering a clean, healthy and biologically diverse North-East Atlantic ecosystem, sustainably used OSPAR originated in 1972 with the Oslo Convention against dumping and was broadened to cover land-based sources and the offshore industry by the Paris Convention of 1974. The two conventions were unified, up-dated and extended to form the 1992 OSPAR Convention. A new annex on the protection and conservation of the ecosystems and biological diversity of the Maritime Area was adopted in 1998 to cover adverse effects of human activities other than pollution. Ratified by 15 Governments and the European Union (the Contracting Parties) the OSPAR Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (the ‘OSPAR Convention') entered into force on 25 March 1998 and covers a geographic region from the North Pole to 36o North. The current direction of OSPAR is outlined in the North-East Atlantic Environment Strategy which specifically covers hazardous substance, the offshore oil and gas industry, biological diversity and ecosystems, radioactive substances and eutrophication. The OSPAR Commission shares common regulation and management of the human activities impacting our seas, supported by monitoring and assessment of the state of the seas with the objective of assessing the impact of OSPAR regulation and management with the ultimate aim of achieving sustainable use of ecosystem goods and services, as well as maintaining ecosystem integrity. Cooperating with other Regional Seas Conventions and developing Common Indicators of both pressure and state, OSPAR is a key player in respect of reporting by Members States on their implementation of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Novel indicators, limited data and geographic scope are all a part of the mix. However, OSPAR’s outputs are generating clear and strong messages regarding progress with the protection of the North-East Atlantic.

MARK TASKER

Advisory Committee Vice-Chair, International Council for

Exploration of the Sea

Mark Tasker is a vice-chair of the Advisory Committee of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). In this role, he is responsible for ensuring that ICES’ advice on a wide range of marine issues meets the advisory requests and is of a high

peer-reviewed standard. He is also one of the leaders of the organisation. Mark retired from the UK’s Joint Nature Conservation Committee in 2016 after 37 years of working in Aberdeen for that organisation and its predecessors. His roles there spanned almost every aspect of marine conservation and beyond and during his time, marine conservation matured into a mainstream activity.

MARK TASKER: ICES role in the sustainable development of European Seas The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) was founded in 1902 and has remained at the forefront of international marine science in the North Atlantic and adjacent seas ever since. It has 20 member countries, including all those in Europe with an Atlantic or Baltic seaboard, and all Arctic nations. In more recent years, ICES has assumed prominence as the standard source for impartial, peer-reviewed scientific advice for users of the sea. It is probably most well-known for its advice on the state of fish stocks and their fishing opportunities. Its advice though ranges much wider to encompass all aspects of the marine ecosystem and other uses of the sea to meet its mission to advance scientific understanding of marine ecosystems and provide knowledge and advice for the sustainable management of our seas. Scottish scientists play many roles in the organisation and there is no reason why possible constitutional changes would affect this. Scottish participation could be enhanced if there were mechanisms by which a wider range of scientists, particularly from academia, could be involved.

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS (12.00-13:00 AND 13.45-14.45) Divide into groups to discuss the implications of the EU referendum for progress towards sustainable development in Scotland’s Seas. Consider challenges and risks of leaving the EU, but also the non-EU obligations and commitments that will remain. There will be three parallel groups, repeated after lunch so that every delegate attends two themes. The themes are divided sectorally although they are clearly interrelated, and topics such as governance, environment and science should be common threads for the discussion.

Discussion points

1. What are your views on the challenges and risks we now face to achieve sustainable development? Have they / will they change?

2. What are the national &/or international obligations that will continue outside EU membership?

3. What do EU requirements provide that non-EU commitments and mechanisms do not?
