Future trends analysis for marine sectors, activities and protected areas
Understand the changes affecting marine plan areas in the North West, North East, South East and South West over the next 20 years. Assessments should include:
- likely trends
- resulting changes in sector size, distribution and activity levels
- anticipated social, economic and environmental impacts associated with these changes
Assessments should also consider marine plan areas’ futures and focus on marine protected areas within the marine plan areas. Spatial information is preferred but is not dependent on a complex predictive model. Scenarios are not a critical component, but would be considered useful
