The Marine Aggregate
Levy Sustainability Fund (MALSF) Technical Conference, organised by
Coastal Management for Sustainability (CSM), was held in London on
the 6th July to present the marine work currently funded under the
Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF).
19 presentations were given throughout the day, grouped into four
broad themes; Habitats and Mapping; Historic Environment; Impact and
Recovery and Risk Assessment and Management. Additionally, a range
of informative posters were displayed.
Four research projects funded through the SAMP programme were
presented:
-
‘Outer Bristol
Channel Marine Habitat Study’ Ceri James, British Geological
Survey.
-
‘Building GIS
and Environmental Data Management Capabilities of the Sea
Fisheries Committees’ Paul Eastwood, CEFAS
-
‘Seabed
Prehistory’ Stuart Leather, Wessex Archaeology
-
‘Dredging Lane
Management – CFD Simulations’ Jon Rees, CEFAS
The conference was
well attended and provided an excellent opportunity for the
dissemination of the work currently being undertaken. It also
provided a forum to increase feedback, discussion and the
collaboration of marine research.
