Policy areas addressed MERP will develop a suite of marine ecosystem models and provide vital evidence, tools and advice to support the: Development and implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Marine and Coastal Access Act Marine (Scotland) Act Common Fisheries Policy OSPAR Joint Assessment and Monitoring Programme

Ecosystem services MERP will investigate impacts of natural and human pressures on marine ecosystems, to help forecast changes in ecosystem services. The National Ecosystem Assessment (2011) approach is being followed and will focus on: Food provision Biological checks and balances Leisure and recreation Bioremediation of waste
