The State of the Severn Report Rhoda Ballinger has a degree in Geography, a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and a PhD from the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Over the last decade, particularly as a member of the Marine and Coastal Environment Research Group, she has engaged in a quest for model institutional and policy frameworks to deliver Integrated Coastal Management (ICM). Currently, her interest in non-statutory and participatory processes for ICM is reflected in her postgraduate students' research topics. Keen to develop more than an academic perspective on coastal management, Rhoda has been heavily and actively involved in the development and day-to-day running of a number of international, national and local coastal and estuary management projects, including the Severn Estuary Partnership. This presentation will build on the launch of the State of the Severn Estuary Report at last year’s Forum event. The presentation will highlight the current development of indicator sets and specific report cards detailing the ‘State of the Severn in specific themed areas. The presentation will focus mainly on the approach taken and the initial findings.

Al Storer - Welsh Government Marine Team Welsh Government, Marine Planning Update Alan started his career as a Foreign Direct Investment Project Executive for the Welsh Development Agency, working across a number of advanced manufacturing sectors before joining the Welsh Government and continuing in a similar role for International Business Wales. Alan initially joined the Marine Branch of the Welsh Government to help project manage the implementation of the Marine and Coastal Access Act in Wales on a 1 year secondment. Alan returned to Marine Branch in January 2011 as a Marine Planning Officer. This talk will offer an overview of the work of the Welsh Government within the marine planning process. The presentation will offer an insight into marine planning specifically within the Severn Estuary including current planning updates.

Paul Evans - Cardiff University The Tidal Regime of the Severn Estuary Paul Evans graduated from Cardiff University in 2006 with a 2:1 in Marine Geography. During his time at Cardiff University, Paul worked at HR Wallingford as part of an optional Year in industry where he worked on a number of commercial projects as a coastal hydraulic physical modeller. Paul subsequently studied for a Masters in Coastal Engineering at The University of Plymouth and completed a dissertation researching the protective capabilities of seawalls. Between 2007 and 2008, Paul was employed as a Research Assistant at Cardiff University (School of Earth and Ocean Sciences) where he undertook various tidal resource assessments for potential tidal stream turbine sites. In July 2008, Paul joined Waterman Transport and Development Ltd. as a Graduate Engineer in the Cardiff Office. Paul has over 4 years experience in hydrology and flood risk analysis, using FEH hydrological modelling techniques and 1D, 2D hydraulic modelling software, namely HEC-RAS and TUFLOW packages. Paul is currently a Research Assistant at Cardiff University (as part of the Low Carbon Research Institute (LCRI) convergence programme) to again investigate the resource potential at various sites along the Welsh coastline, namely Ramsey Sound. He has been working closely with Tidal Energy Limited to help choose the most suitable location within Ramsey Sound to install their delta-shaped tidal turbine in terms of suitable substrate, a flat seabed and sufficient tidal flow. Paul uses his GIS skills to map and model various sites in order to visualise and interpret the tidal flow data collected onboard Cardiff University’s Research Vessel Guiding Light. Paul is also studying for a PhD into the hydrodynamics of significant bathymetric features. With the second highest tidal range in the world, the Severn Estuary has a unique tidal regime. This will be the main focus of this presentation, introducing the science behind such a unique tidal range and how the physical environment of the Severn Estuary can alter or may be altered in the future.
