Morgane Declerck graduated with a MSc in Applied Marine and Fishery Ecology at the University of Aberdeen and is currently enrolled in the 3nd year of a PhD program.
Morgane’s work aims to create a holistic and pragmatic tool in order to assess the cumulative effects of climate change, marine renewable energies and anthropogenic activities such as fisheries in the North Sea. It is exploring different scales – from local to national and transnational – in order to promote transboundary management, meeting the objectives of nature conservation and the needs of sustainable development.
The framework is defined by Habitat Risk Assessment Dynamic Bayesian Network using the Habitat Risk Assessment model by InVEST (Natural Capital Project) coupled to a Dynamic Bayesian Network. This work is supported by Supergen ORE Hub and the UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy’s (BEIS) offshore energy Strategic Environmental Assessment Programme.
