Why do we build scenarios?
The scenario building process can take several months but can be longer or shorter depending on the methodologies chosen, resources available and the required level of stakeholder participation
Natural capital project InVEST
InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs) is a framework of “open source” models for mapping and valuing ecosystem services developed by Natural Capital Project.
The triage process
The triage process consists of carrying out steps to decide which assessment to carry out for which purpose and in which context
What are scenarios?
Scenarios are a proven tool and one that produces results. The method is simple in that it invites the ‘audience’ to react to a plausible set of future events.
Visualisation and communication
Communicating the concepts of ecosystem services and valuation will require different techniques and tools depending on the target audience.
Stated preferences: Choice experiment
Choice experiment may help to reveal people preferences for ecosystem services
Multi-criteria analysis
Multi-criteria analysis techniques are often used to support decision making as they provide a formal framework
Habitat mapping: the EUNIS nomenclature
The European Nature Information System (EUNIS) habitat classification is a pan-European system, which covers all types of natural and artificial habitats, both aquatic and terrestrial
Synopsis platform
The SYNOPSIS platforms are organised around four main axes: Context knowledge, Conceptual models, Assessments and models, Scenarios
RUG
The Resources or Ecosystem Services/Uses/Governance (RUG) view of the system is an operational approach, based on system thinking, social-ecological systems, stemming from different operational management approaches
DPSIR assessment
The DPSIR framework has been adopted by the European Environment Agency. It is a general framework for organising information about state of the environment.
Cognitive maps
Cognitive maps are an essential step towards system thinking approach, especially for complex systems with lack of data and knowledge.
Stakeholder and institutional mapping
Societies can be mapped or modelled in terms of the relationships between institutions, and the ‘social capital’ of a society lies in its institutions and its local networks of trust
Forrester system mapping
A technique to visualise and identify the system feedback loops and management levers as well as to define the scope and limits of the considered system
Common culture workshop
The ‘common culture’ workshop is an essential participatory and engagement tool
North Devon
The study considered the role of subtidal sedimentary habitats in carbon sequestration, waste remediation and the provision of nursery habitats for important commercial species.
Poole Harbour
Provide information to support recreation management, particularly in terms of ensuring continued use and dealing with conflicts
Plymouth Sound to Fowey
The site from Plymouth Sound to Fowey was defined for the purposes of the VALMER project as representative of a typical stretch of open coast with varied habitats and a range of issues and activities.
Normand-Breton Gulf
The Norman-Breton Gulf is a proposed French Marine Protected Area. New elements are needed to feed the reflexion about the management of this large area.
Iroise Marine Natural Park
The subject studied is the ecosystem services provided by kelp forest habitats.
Regional Natural Park of the Gulf of Morbihan
Seagrass beds are sensitive to pressures impacting environment quality (e.g. lack of light, herbicides, trampling, grubbing, etc.).
