Progress with integration of ecosystem services in sustainable drainage system (2016)
Book Chapter
Everard, M., McInnes, R., & Gouda, H. (2016). Progress with integration of ecosystem services in sustainable drainage system. In C. Booth, & S. Charlesworth, S.M. (Eds.), Sustainable Surface Water Management: A Handbook for SUDs. Chichester: Wiley-Blackwell

Society is moving from management addressing single or few outcomes towards recognition that all interventions have systemic impacts. Water management in urban environments presents particular challenges related to growing populations in finite land...

Law and science in conflict: The resurrection of maximum sustainable yield (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Appleby, T., Everard, M., & Simpson, S. (2014, June). Law and science in conflict: The resurrection of maximum sustainable yield. Presented at Marine and Coastal Policy Forum 2014, University of Plymouth

For the first time the law on maximum sustainable yield changes the burden of proof, it is now up to the government to demonstrate sustainable fisheries. The right to fish is no longer untrammelled.

Maximum sustainable yield? Fish, fishers and people (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Appleby, T., Everard, M., & Simpson, S. (2014, March). Maximum sustainable yield? Fish, fishers and people. Presented at Oceans and Human Health Conference, Bedruthan

This paper examines the basis of 4 fundamental laws governing fisheries and human interaction with the sea: coastal states’ rights, obligations for sustainable fishing, duties for health and safety at sea and the public trust obligations in the way t...

Safeguarding the provision of ecosystem services in catchment systems (2013)
Journal Article
Everard, M. (2013). Safeguarding the provision of ecosystem services in catchment systems. Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 9(2), 252-259. https://doi.org/10.1002/ieam.1386

A narrow technocentric focus on a few favored ecosystem services (generally provisioning services) has led to ecosystem degradation globally, including catchment systems and their capacities to support human well-being. Increasing recognition of the... Read More about Safeguarding the provision of ecosystem services in catchment systems.

The challenges and implications of linking wetland science to policy in agricultural landscapes - experience from the UK National Ecosystem Assessment (2013)
Journal Article
Everard, M., Maltby, E., Acreman, M., Blackwell, M. S., Everard, M., & Morris, J. (2013). The challenges and implications of linking wetland science to policy in agricultural landscapes - experience from the UK National Ecosystem Assessment. Ecological Engineering, 56, 121-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2012.12.086

Wetlands have been the focus of conflicts in societal priorities throughout human history, with competing demands for water and land use delivering a range of ecosystem services but contributing to severe degradation and loss. Conservation of wetland... Read More about The challenges and implications of linking wetland science to policy in agricultural landscapes - experience from the UK National Ecosystem Assessment.

Rediscovering the value of urban rivers (2012)
Journal Article

Rivers commonly serve as defining, founding features of human settlements, yet urbanisation has degraded them, often to the extent that they no longer provide the services to society from which the settlements developed. Urban river restoration has e... Read More about Rediscovering the value of urban rivers.
