Ensuring existing systems are resourced longer terms rather than new projects

Long-term data is so important and often rare so perhaps providing the benefits of long-term studies with examples would help back longer term funding for projects
There is also a real risk of drawing incorrect/premature/misleading conclusions from projects (e.g. restoration/enhancement/impact assessments) that are monitored over timescales limited to funding deadlines. We can provide evidence from literature to support this as a risk if it would be helpful.
post project monitoring e.g. for EIA doesnt happen often.
Funding for public sector projects again isnt included - captial grants for capital (building) projects.. no pot for monitoring
opportunity post brexit to do things differently???
Paul Renfro: Action needed to bring others in the funding arena to the table to discuss how we can change the way current funding structures work to enable longer term resourcing.
Innovative, new kinds of funding, brings private investment into things, green and blue bonds
National parks extension into the marine areas
Understood and recognised world wide, means something to people so would be really beneficial in marine environment. Need discussion on how it would look
National-level, westminster funding as benefits across the UK
WWF alternative means of funding for MPAs
Room 2 discussion - Needs to be a way of addressing Core funding for longer term.
To get away from problems of having to get pots of money spent within short time limited time frames that can decrease quality of work
also from Room 2 discussion - finding ways of continuing to fund good projects that are delivering benefits. Most funding currently expects projects to be new ideas so existing good ideas can't get funding. Links to discussions on long term data sets.
Action suggested by the group - a collective letter to Welsh Government and NRW from a collection of stakeholders outlining the benefits of longer term funding. Posible committment from Jetske PCF?
Conservation zones - people don't really get it, but park or reserve is well understood. Positive phrasing to get people on board for this. Coastal Park Pembs - extend boundary to have marine park and all advantages that come with it.
