Supporting management in a changing environment
Seagrass (Zostera spp.) • Climate change impacts on sea water temperature, sea level, storminess and rainfall patterns, as well as ocean acidification, could affect seagrass species. • These effects could be both positive and negative, and need to be understood in the context of other anthropogenic pressures (e.g. eutrophication, siltation and physical disturbance). • Seagrass productivity, growth and flowering rates, and habitat distribution are all likely to be affected. • There are potentially complex interactions between climate effects on species that rely on seagrass meadows and the rate of response of seagrass to climate change. • Whilst there are significant risks to habitats there can be a potential for increase in range of intertidal and subtidal seagrass. • Management measures which reduce wider pressures can be used to increase resilience to climate change, but further pro-active measures could be put in place. Modelling could be used to predict suitable areas for colonisation and areas at particular risk. Wider management measures include protecting whole sites rather than features, and management of adjacent sites and ecosystems.

Our service: Report card concept, infographics, design and print
• Saline lagoons have been identified as one of the most vulnerable habitats to climate change impacts. • The biggest climate change threats to saline lagoons are relative sea level rise, changes in seasonal temperature, storminess, and rainfall patterns. • The physical, chemical and ecological characteristics of saline lagoons are likely to be affected by the impacts of climate change. However, due to their ephemeral nature, the characteristics of saline lagoons differ between sites and can change over time, and as a result, the impacts of climate change are also likely to be variable. Some saline lagoons may remain relatively unaffected by climate change impacts where others may be lost completely. It is important to assess the climate change pressures and vulnerability of each lagoon and/or habitat complex. • Naturally formed lagoons have considerable ability to adapt to climate change impacts provided there is space for adaptation with minimal human interference. However coastal processes rarely operate in their fully natural state. Artificial lagoons will be entirely dependent on continued human intervention. • Coastal lagoons do not exist in isolation but are part of a wider habitat network. Adaptation responses for interconnected coastal habitats should consider the coast as a whole. • As climate change impacts are also predicted to vary between geographic regions, the effects of climate change on saline lagoons are likely to be different between different parts of the UK. As a result, adaptation responses required to mitigate climate change impacts are likely to be different in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Sandeels and their availability as seabird prey
• Sandeels are an important trophic link between plankton and predatory fish, seabirds and mammals, and support a large fishery in the North Sea. • Seabirds in particular are sensitive to sandeel availability because they depend on them to feed their chicks. • Climate can have a direct impact on the reproductive timing of sandeel and the phenology of the plankton prey they depend on, increasing the likelihood of poor recruitment. • Current approaches of managing sandeels include population level landing restrictions and closed areas. However, further restrictions on anthropogenic activities in seabird foraging areas could be considered. The growing contribution of alternative prey such as sprat requires that fisheries on forage species should take account of predator requirements.

CONGRATULATIONS!
CONTENTS 4 10 THINGS TO DO THIS SEMESTER
You’re about to start an incredible journey. My colleagues and I in the School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies (PPL) will be with you all the way.
8 YOUR WELCOME WEEK EVENTS
Welcome Week at UEA is all about settling in, making new friends and getting to know the university and the city. This week’s events will ease you into student life and give you a taste of what’s on offer at UEA.
14 MEET YOUR ADVISER
In PPL we stand for three things. Community: PPL isn’t only a workplace and a classroom. It’s a community. We share a common goal – understanding ourselves, the world and how to live in it. Discovery: Our staff are both teachers and world-class researchers, pushing the boundaries in their fields. We want you to make discoveries too, growing your understanding and finding out what you really think.
6 BE THERE. GET ONLINE
Life: University isn’t just about work. It’s about life. And you are in a great place to live. Outside the classroom you can attend events with some of the world’s greatest thinkers, writers and artists. There’s also a world-class art gallery and gig venue on campus. Plus all kinds of opportunities in radio and film, music and dance, charity and politics, both here and abroad. Seize these opportunities and you will have experiences which shape your life and set you on paths you didn’t even know existed.
12 HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT
16 GET TO KNOW CAMPUS
As you travel on your journey, do talk with us. We’ll help with any challenges you face, and we’ll celebrate your victories with you. We can’t wait to get to know you.
