Affairs (Defra), is a multidisciplinary scientific
research centre with a core advisory role to
government underpinned by our expertise in
monitoring and assessment.
Established in Lowestoft in 1902 to investigate North Sea
fisheries, with a second laboratory in Weymouth, Cefas
currently employs ~ 500 staff and is the UK's largest and
Cefas Lowestoft
currently employs ~ 500 staff and is the UK's largest and
most diverse applied marine science centre. Work
encompasses environment and ecosystems, fish health,
aquaculture and sustainable fisheries
management.
Our statutory responsibility for monitoring
fish stocks and aquatic ecosystems in
UK waters is supported by our own 72m
dedicated research vessel.

Cefas advises UK Government re environmental aspects of oil and chemical spills:
Response options
Fate and behaviour of spilled oil and chemicals
Contamination of fish and shellfish and fishery closures
Possible ecological impacts
Cefas provided advice to St Helena authorities
re. the wreck of RFA Darkdale
Marine emergenciesIntegrated advice on fate and effects of spills
24/7 using modelling, ecology & chemistry skills
Impacts of response and consequences for
food chain
Nuclear emergenciesUses existing marine radiological capability and
background knowledge.

Cefas provides advice on the status and management of UK and European
fisheries based on monitoring, assessment and modelling of fish and shellfish
stocks, studying their response to exploitation, and conducting research on
the environments in which they live and species with which they interact.
Cefas conducts its own
data collection and analysis

We could have separate ‘mini-reports’ for the most populous regions (e.g. a broad ‘Caribbean’ or Bermudan card) or for climatically sensitive regions with broad-scaleimportance (e.g. S. Ocean)
Mini-reports would provide more specific detail for each region than in 16-pagesummary
Would also have different packaging on back and front page

Caribbean Territories
Key issues
Who would be the main beneficiaries?
What are the key issues for the OTs?
What information do decision makers need?
Does the remit need to be extended to cover mitigation andadaptation?
Is the UK MCCIP report card style right for the OTs and if not,what should it look like?
What would be the best report format, all OTs in one card, orcover multiple OTs within regions?
Who will provide the information and will there be enoughinformation to fully populate the card for every territory?
