  1. Welcome North Devon Case Study Stakeholder Workshop 2 The Royal Hotel, Bideford – 30th January 2014

  2. Focus of the study • Subtidal sediment habitats and their value in supporting fisheries production • The valuation research will consider the role of sediment habitats as nursery areas and in sustaining food chains (food supply for fish) • Scenarios will be developed (with you!) to determine how values might change under different plausible management scenarios • We anticipate that this work will be of direct benefit for the long term management of the area

  3. Case Study Area

  4. Data collection Data have been collected on: • Human activities and uses that affect the seabed – their distribution and intensity in the NDBR marine area • Ecology – seabed species and habitats, nursery and spawning areas for commercially important fish species and reported catch • Management – existing measures including MPAs, fisheries restrictions
