Fletcher Et Al 2007 👎👎👎 Flashcards
What does this paper discuss?
The role of the Hamble Estuary Partnership, a local voluntary coastal stakeholder partnership that is focused on the coordinated management of a small estuary in the Solent
Also critically examines the relationship between the Hamble Estuary Partnership and Solent Forum in order to determine any duplication or integration between the two partnerships
What are the findings from this study? Positives and negatives?
It was found that the aspirations and working principles of the two partnerships were consistent and the methods of working and focus of activity of each partnership were distinctive yet complementary.
However, it was also found that evidence of vertical policy integration was limited
What are the conclusions?
It was concluded that although the two-tier partnership model presented an opportunity to deliver vertically integrated policies in the Hamble estuary, this opportunity was yet to be fully realised.
What are CP defined by Fletcher et al 2007?
Coastal partnerships are consortia of coastal stake- holders that ‘‘broadly aim to achieve a more integrated approach to coastal issues by facilitating co-operation between different organisations, raising awareness of local issues, collecting and distributing information, and dis- cussing issues of local concern’
Give an example of the benefits of having HEP and SF?
the issue of obtaining marine consents has been highlighted by members of the Hamble Estuary Partner- ship. Since this is an issue that affects certain decision- makers throughout the Solent, the Solent Forum will host a workshop to examine the issue in order to share information and expertise. As such, there is a two-way mutually beneficial information flow between the partner- ships. An additional formal link is that the chairperson of the Hamble Estuary Partnership is a member of the Solent Forum and an officer of the Solent Forum is invited to all Hamble Estuary Partnership meetings. More informally, there are a number of individuals, most commonly from competent authorities, who are members of both partner- ships, which provide an exchange of information and expertise. The Solent Forum has also used the Hamble Estuary Partnership to extend its communication reach, primarily through using Hamble Estuary Partnership meetings as an additional dissemination channel.
