  1. MESH Follow-on Strategy Gez ThulbournMESH Finance ManagerJNCC Jon DaviesMESH Project Co-ordinatorJNCC

  2. Why? Develop mapping strategies to ensure further data collection and continued improvement in quality and coverage of habitat maps, plus their use in spatial environmental management Leading to… International habitat maps maintained via updated national mapping programmes www.searchMESH.net

  3. Main Goals • Improving and enhancing the quality of the key products • Promoting these key products to improve their uptake in the wider marine scientific, policy-making and environmental management community www.searchMESH.net

  4. Maintain and enhance the products MESH Products Mapping guidance Habitat models webGIS & metadata catalogue MESH group www.searchMESH.net

  5. webGIS www.searchMESH.net

  6. webGIS & metadata catalogue www.searchMESH.net

  7. webGIS & metadata catalogue • Secure a long-term home • Update as new studies are completed • Add new functions – move to 4D? • Extend coverage • Improve quality www.searchMESH.net

  8. What is habitat mapping? What do I want to map? How do I collect the data? How do I make a map? How good is my map? How can I use my map? MESH Guidance for habitat mapping www.searchMESH.net

  9. MESH Guidance for habitat mapping • Ensure guidance remains accessible • Update with new advances in mapping science & technology • Promote to the regulatory & user community as a common standard • Develop training programmes www.searchMESH.net

  10. Habitat modelling www.searchMESH.net

  11. Future habitat modelling • Promote models to user community • Further validate models • Enhance models to meet specific user needs • Habitat sensitivity • Fisheries management • Build decision support tools www.searchMESH.net

  12. MESH Partnership www.searchMESH.net

  13. www.searchMESH.net

  14. MESH Partnership • Promote expertise and act in advisory capacity • Invite a wider membership • Broaden geographical scope of organisations within partnership www.searchMESH.net

  16. Promote MESH products • Promote products to a wider audience • Explore new uses for existing products • Embed products into policy work at national/regional/international level • Make products more accessible www.searchMESH.net

  17. Where else could the MESH products be used? • Assess and monitor status • Integrated resource mapping • Sensitivity mapping & assessment of impact of human activities • Marine spatial planning • Support the assessment of ecosystem function www.searchMESH.net

  18. Extend techniques Extend range of habitats Scenario modelling Dynamic ecosystem modelling Survey planning tools Develop Develop Modelling habitat probability Extend to 4D coverage MESH Products Mapping guidance Habitat models Expand geographic coverage Technical advisory group webGIS MESH group Promote Support Integrated resource mapping Education & public awareness Spatial planning Managing economic exploitation Extend MESH Products www.searchMESH.net
