The document summarizes information about the Severn River Basin District and river basin planning under the Water Framework Directive. It discusses (1) the purpose of the Water Framework Directive to manage river basins and improve water quality, (2) the 11 River Basin Districts in England and Wales including the Severn River Basin District, and (3) the importance of stakeholder engagement in river basin planning at multiple scales from national to local levels.

Ocean Planning's Impactriseagrant

听

This document assessed the impact of past ocean management plans in several countries and U.S. states. It found that the plans supported $4.1 billion in ocean economies by siting wind farms and retaining existing industries. The plans also generated hundreds of millions of dollars annually in economic gains for new industries like wind power and retained billions within existing industries like fishing and tourism. While fishermen lost some access, they were compensated. The plans encouraged collaboration among stakeholders and expanded environmental protections over 50% of the planned areas while managing industrial growth. Future research on newer plans is needed to fully understand the long-term economic, environmental and social impacts of comprehensive ocean management.

2015 International Spatial Planning Symposium: Sharing Practical Solutions riseagrant

听

The document summarizes findings from a review of marine spatial plans around the world. It finds that most plans are implemented at smaller spatial scales than entire ecosystems. It also finds that few institutional changes are made to governing bodies to implement coastal and marine spatial planning, relying instead on existing agencies. Additionally, it notes that while formal decision support tools are used, informal expert judgment also plays a role. The main messages are that there is no single approach for marine spatial planning and that the value is in the planning process of engaging stakeholders as much as the final plan.

Local Case Studiesriseagrant

听

This document summarizes information presented at a workshop on using the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) to project impacts of sea level rise on coastal wetlands in Rhode Island. Key points include: - Tidal marshes provide important ecosystem services like habitat, water filtration, and flood protection. Rhode Island has lost over 50% of its historic salt marshes. - Sea levels are rising faster in Rhode Island due to climate change, increasing the risk of wetland loss and property damage from flooding. The SLAMM model projects significant wetland loss under scenarios of 1, 3, and 5 feet of sea level rise. - The SLAMM projections will help identify vulnerable wetlands and

SEAKFHP unveils draft strategic action plan at 2013 SE AK Watershed Symposiumseakfhp

听

The Southeast Alaska Fish Habitat Partnership (SEAKFHP), a candidate partnership under the National Fish Habitat Action Plan, works to foster cooperative fish habitat conservation in freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystems across southeast Alaska. The partnership formed under the belief that many benefits result when multiple partners come together to share resources, align strategic actions, and speak with a united voice about the conservation and value of productive and intact fish habitats at both local and regional scales. Partner expertise and focus is currently on populations of resident species and anadromous salmonids in freshwater systems as well as anadromous and marine species in estuarine and nearshore habitats. Our mission is to foster and facilitate regionally relevant strategies that will conserve and sustain the region鈥檚 fish habitat, fisheries-based economy, and culture. To achieve this broad mission the partnership is working to develop a strategic action plan. In this presentation we share a general overview of the partnership and introduce our draft strategic action plan.

JARINZO TANABATA鈥橲 SIX CAPITAL FORCES: A FRAMEWORK FOR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGEJarinzo Tanabata

听

Strategic Excellence: In the ever-evolving landscape of business, technology, and governance, traditional views of capital as a static resource no longer suffice. To maintain a competitive edge, organizations must not only accumulate resources but must activate, integrate, and orchestrate them in ways that align with long-term goals. Jarinzo Tanabata鈥檚 Six Capital Forces offers a rigorous and pragmatic framework for achieving this level of strategic agility. By viewing capital not as a static accumulation but as an interconnected system of forces, Tanabata introduces a model that drives growth, innovation, and sustained competitive advantage. In the same tradition as thinkers like Peter Drucker, who emphasized the importance of aligning strategy with organizational capabilities, and Michael Porter, who outlined the critical dynamics of competitive advantage, Tanabata offers a vision of capital that is fluid, responsive, and ever-adapting. His Six Capital Forces Intellectual, Social, Financial, Human, Structural, and Natural must be continuously activated, integrated, and orchestrated to yield real value. This approach aligns with the strategic and operational needs of organizations looking to excel in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. Traditionally, capital was seen primarily as a static resource to be accumulated: assets, cash reserves, intellectual property, and human resources. But Tanabata's framework challenges this perspective by viewing capital as a dynamic force, a series of interrelated modalities that must be activated and integrated to drive sustained value creation. The success of modern institutions, corporations, and political bodies does not lie simply in their capital reserves but in their capacity to activate and orchestrate these reserves to deliver tangible, long-term results.

馃實 Science Not Shared is Science Lost: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Impact 馃帣锔忦煋� In the heart of Africa, where innovation meets resilience, lies an untapped reservoir of scientific brilliance. Yet, too often, groundbreaking research remains confined within the walls of journals, inaccessible to the communities it seeks to serve. This February, I am thrilled to join the "Science Communication Beyond Journal Publications" workshop at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) as one of the lead trainers. Together, we will unravel the power of storytelling, creative media, and strategic communication to amplify science's voice beyond academia. Science is not just about discovery鈥攊t's about connection. Imagine a researcher in Kampala whose work could transform public health policy but struggles to translate their findings into actionable insights for policymakers. Or a young scientist in Nairobi whose groundbreaking study on climate resilience could inspire farmers but remains buried in technical jargon. These stories matter. They hold the potential to change lives and rewrite Africa鈥檚 narrative on poverty and development. At this workshop, we will explore how scientists can collaborate with communicators to craft compelling stories that resonate with policymakers, communities, and global audiences alike. From podcasts that bring lab discoveries to life 馃帶 to press releases that spark media attention 馃摪 and digital tools that democratize knowledge 馃寪鈥攚e will empower participants to make their research accessible and impactful. This mission aligns deeply with my belief that Africa MUST change the way it tackles poverty. Science communication is not just about sharing knowledge; it's about driving action. When researchers effectively communicate their work, they empower communities with solutions rooted in evidence. They influence policies that prioritize sustainable development. They inspire innovation that addresses grassroots challenges. Let us humanize science鈥攊nfuse it with stories of hope, struggle, and triumph鈥攁nd ensure it reaches those who need it most. Because when science connects with people, it transforms lives. To my fellow scientists and communicators: this is our call to action. Let鈥檚 bridge the gap between discovery and impact. Let鈥檚 co-create stories that not only inform but inspire action across Africa and beyond.
