INSITE Synthesis Project

INSITE综合项目旨在使用标准的利益相关者参与实践，就他们认为与海洋环境中安装、操作和拆除（退役）人造结构（MMS）的生态成本、效益和影响相关的关键问题达成科学共识和“社区”立场。该社区将主要由邀请组成，由核心小组协调，并将包括来自INSITE项目以及国家和国际合作伙伴的专家。由于其目的是理解和传播科学共识的观点，我们将重点关注具有相关专业知识的科学家，例如发表过相关论文或正在领导相关项目的科学家。该项目将从一个概念框架和“自下而上的方法”开始，要求科学家提供他们认为与MMS退役有关的最相关的证据。然后，这个证据基础将用于创建一个概念网络，描述原因（驱动因素）、后果（影响）和反应（管理选择）之间的联系。该证据基础将用于确定知识差距，未来的研究重点将反映在创建(1)为决策者（即英国政府、国内和国际管理者）综合科学证据的“决策者政策简报摘要”和(2)概述科学共识的高影响力期刊文章中。

The INSITE Synthesis Project aims to, using standard stakeholder engagement practice, develop a scientific consensus and 'community' position on what they consider to be the critical issues relating to the ecological costs, benefits and impacts of installing, operating and removing (decommissioning) man-made structures (MMS) in the marine environment. The community will be assembled largely by invitation, co-ordinated by the core group, and will include experts from INSITE projects and national and international partners. Because the aim is to understand and disseminate a view of the scientific consensus we will focus on scientists with demonstrated and relevant expertise, such as those who have published relevant papers or are leading relevant projects. The project will start with a conceptual framework and a 'bottom-up approach', asking scientists to contribute what they consider to be the most relevant evidence with respect to MMS decommissioning. This evidence-base would then be used to create a conceptual network describing the links between cause (drivers), consequence (impact) and responses (management options). This evidence base will be used to identify knowledge gaps, future research priorities reflected in creation of (1) a 'Summary for Policymakers' policy briefing synthesising the scientific evidence for policymakers (i.e. UK government, national and international managers), and (2) a high-impact journal article outlining the scientific consensus.
