The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA 1995(DDA , amended 2005, Equality Act (2010), EU Disability Action Plan (2003Plan ( -2010 and EU Disability Strategy (2010-2020 were designed to make equal opportunities a 'reality'. As 16% of the EU population is statutorily disabled, there are considerable implications for beach management. Common research examples given of beach users include swimmers, anglers and water-sport enthusiasts -but rarely people with learning disabilities (LD). This paper assessed the viewpoints of a group of beach users with LD and considered their appreciation of three different coastal classifications in South Wales, UK. Because of the nature of their disabilities, the research applied a participatory photo-interpretation methodology (photovoice) at these three beach locations.The research then compared the LD ranking of beach issues with rankings provided by members of the general public at the same beaches. The results demonstrated some similarities between LD and general public coastal needs, but identified the need for specific

“…Such capacity to adapt is crucial for dealing with the future threats associated with climate change as communities will need to modify the way they have historically used natural resources (Barnes et al, 2013). Organizations and the management routines they create therefore support, encourage, and enable the capacity of people to adapt to changing circumstances (Clarke et al, 2013;Grech et al, 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, these governance arrangements pay attention to fundamental variables that create social memory, legacy, diversity, and the capacity to innovate through social mechanisms, so that learning can be encoded and remembered by the social groups (Clarke et al, 2013). An example of a social mechanism is the ecological knowledge about how to protect certain species (Clarke et al, 2013;Folke et al, 2007).…”

“…This includes three local governments, four state government agencies, and a recently established overarching state marine management authority. All these levels of government are responsible for implementing state and federal legislation and policies that impact the management of marine ecosystems and biodiversity (Clarke et al, 2013), in addition to addressing local and regional issues. Interacting with these different layers of governance is multiple industry stakeholder, indigenous, and local community groups (Haines et al, 2008).…”

Linking risk factors to risk treatment in ecological risk assessment of marine biodiversity

Implementing marine ecosystem-based management at regional and small spatial scales is challenging due to the complexity of ecosystems, human activities, their interactions and multilayered governance. Ecological risk assessments (ERAs) of marine biodiversity are often used to prioirtise issues but only give broad guidance of how issues might be addressed in the form of strategies. However, at small and regional spatial scales marine natural resource managers have to make decisions within these strategies about how to manage specific interactions between human uses and ecological components. By using the transition between risk characterization and risk treatment in ERA for marine biodiversity tractable ways through the complexity can be found. This paper will argue that specific management and research actions relevant to smaller spatial scales can be developed by using the linkage between risk factors and risk treatment in ERA. Many risk factors require risk treatments that extend beyond the boundary of local agencies or sector responsibilities. The risk factor-treatment platform provides a practical way that these boundaries can be opened up by providing a scientifically based and transparent process to engage all actors who need to be involved in addressing the issues raised by an ERA. First, the principles of the mechanism will be described. Second, how the mechanism is constructed will be introduced using examples from an urban estuary. Application of the mechanism reveals three different types of risk factors (stressor, ecological, and knowledge gap) that can be used to develop specific management and research actions to treat risks. The systematic approach enables the dual complexities of marine ecosystems and multiple human pressures to be unravelled to identify and target issues effectively. The risk factor treatment linkage provides a platform to negotiate and develop effective management and research actions across jurisdictional, disciplinary, community and stakeholder boundaries.
