Prof Stephen Hynes

Stephen is director of the multi-disciplinary research unit SEMRU (Socio-Economic Marine Research Unit) within the School of Business and Economics. He is also the currently the Principal Investigator on a number of large multi-disciplinary projects including the Marine Institute funded projects "Valuing and understanding the dynamics of Irelands Ocean Economy" and “Monitoring the Attitudes of Society Towards our Seas (MASTS)”. He is also currently a partner on the EU funded WIN-BIG, REDRESS and MPA LIFE projects. Stephen has a strong background in applied environmental/natural resource economic research and extensive work experience in econometric modelling. He has previously worked as an environmental economist in the Rural Economy Research Centre Teagasc

Stephen's work has contributed to over 150 peer reviewed publications and, according to Overton, an estimated 103 public policy documents in 13 countries: including InterGovernmental Organisations, Ireland, European Union, UK, USA and Germany (Source: Overton). His main research interest is in microeconomic behaviour analysis, related to marine/agriculture and rural development policy.

Stephen's work contributes to these SDGs

SDG 1,26,7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16

The main research focus of SEMRU is on the economic importance of coastal and off-shore marine environments. This involves examining the economic utility of the marine environment (e.g. transportation, recreation) and ecological value (e.g. fisheries, aquaculture) derived from the productivity of associated ecosystems.  The coastal and contiguous marine environment surrounding Ireland and the EU in general provides the geographical focus for the research of the unit. Consideration of the human dimension in the management of marine ecosystems is also a critical component of all research projects within the unit

Target 14.7

Key Target: 14.7 - Increase the economic benefits from sustainable use of marine

The overarching aim of BlueC is to advance scientific understanding of the C dynamics in Irish coastal and marine environments, whilst simultaneously improving management and harnessing their potential for climate mitigation, adaptation and other ecosystem services to underpin policy development.

Ocean and coastal marine systems play a significant role in the global carbon cycle, representing the largest long-term sink of C. Ireland has two blue carbon (BC) habitats; saltmarsh and seagrass meadows, and a vast marine territory containing potential BC systems, such as C-rich macroalgae, maërl, cold water corals, phytoplankton and sediments.

Specifically for Ireland, there is a paucity of data on the C storage capacity of these ecosystems, and a lack of coherent management strategies hampers the ability to integrate these ecosystems into climate policy frameworks.

Focusing on Targets:
Target 12.8 By 2030, ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature

Target 14.2 By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts

Target 14.4 By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans

Target 14.5 By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas

Target 14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology

Target 14.c Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources by implementing international law

Target 15.1 By 2020, ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services

Teaching

Stephen currently teaches undergraduate modules on Econometrics, Marine Economics, Ireland in the Global Economy and also contributes to teaching on the Masters in Global Environmental Economics. As part of the 'Ireland in the Global Economy' module students are taught how to assess Ireland’s economic progress through the lens of sustainable development. As part of the Masters program Stephen organises an annual one day trip on the national research vessel, the RV Tom Crean, where the students discover where the data economists use in fisheries bio-economic models and valuation studies comes from.

Supervision
Stephen supervises 5 PhD students and the dissertations of a number of M.Econ.Sc (Natural Resource Economics and Policy) students (these are taught Masters Students who complete a minor thesis)

Supporting Target 14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology

Engagement

SEMRU frequently organise events and symposium in association with the Marine Institute. Outputs include the annual Marine Economics and Policy Research Symposium and regular updates on the performance of Ireland’s Ocean Economy. The Ireland’s Ocean Economy report provides an update on Ireland’s ocean industries across three main economic indicators: turnover, gross value added (GVA) and employment, and provides an analysis of trends over the last five years. The latest full report can be downloaded here - Ireland's Ocean Economy Report 2023

Featured Publications

Stephen's main research interest is in applied natural resource economics and in particular in microeconomic behaviour analysis, related to marine and agricultural policy change.  These areas of research lie at the intersection of economic and the natural sciences.  Stephen has developed a number of very successful research projects that embrace this interdisciplinary ethos.
