Author notes
Competing Interests: This research was co-funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (
http://www.nerc.ac.uk/) and the Environment Agency (
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/environment-agency) under grant reference NE/M019810/1. Only GSB received the funding for this work.
The Environment Agency had a role in the original collection of the routine surveillance
monitoring data used in this study, though it was not collected specifically for the
purposes of this study. The study was designed by GSB and it was his decision to publish
the work. HGO (an employee of the Environment Agency funding body) did contribute
towards the preparation of the manuscript. JCG is employed by Precima Inc. (
https://www.precima.com/). The funder provided support in the form of salaries for authors [JCG], but did
not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision
to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. This commercial affiliation does not
alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials(as detailed
online in our guide for authors
http://www.PLOSone.org/static/editorial.action#competing). The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘author contributions’
section.
