Abstract As the EU's commitment to renewable energy is projected grow 20% of generation by 2020, use marine from wind, wave and tidal resources increasing. This literature review (233 studies) (i) summarizes knowledge on how devices affect benthic environments, (ii) explains these effects could alter ecosystem processes that support major services (iii) provides an approach determine urgent research needs. Conceptual diagrams were set up structure hypothesized cause-effect relationships...
Marine renewable energy developments (MREDs) are rapidly expanding in size and number as society strives to maintain electricity generation whilst simultaneously reducing climate-change linked CO2 emissions. MREDs part of an ongoing large-scale modification coastal waters that also includes activities such commercial fishing, shipping, aggregate extraction, aquaculture, dredging, spoil-dumping oil gas exploitation. It is increasingly accepted developments, any kind, should only proceed if...
We compared and contrasted 11 European case studies to identify challenges opportunities toward the operationalization of marine coastal ecosystem service (MCES) assessments in Europe. This work is output a panel convened by Marine Working Group Ecosystem Services Partnership September 2016. The MCES were used (1) address multiple policy objectives simultaneously, (2) interpret EU-wide policies smaller scales (3) inform local decision-making. Most did decision makers, but only few cases,...
Recent papers have suggested that epifaunal organisms use artificial structures as stepping-stones to spread areas are too distant reach in a single generation. With thousands of present the North Sea, we test hypothesis these connected by water currents and act an interconnected reef. Population genetic structure blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, was expected follow pattern predicted particle tracking model (PTM). Correlation between population differentiation, based on microsatellite markers,...

The Benthic Ecosystem Quality Index 2 (BEQI2) is the Dutch multi-metric index (MMI) for assessing status and trend of benthic invertebrates in transitional coastal waters Water Framework Directive (WFD). It contains same indicators, i.e. species richness, Shannon AMBI, as multivariate m-AMBI. latter MMI has been adopted by several European countries context WFD implementation. In contrast to m-AMBI, BEQI2 calculation procedure strongly simplified consists two steps, separate indicator values...
This study focussed on the long-term, sediment-driven changes of macrobenthic assemblages in dredged harbour sediment from Rotterdam disposed excavated sand extraction pits off Dutch coast. Macrobenthic species and grain size composition were studied samples two disposal sites surrounding environment over ten years after cessation activities. There was a strong association between granulometry benthic assemblage composition. Shortly last discharge, top layer sediments contained 20%-60% mud...
