Project Objectives

  • Assess C stocks and sequestration rates in seagrass meadows

  • Assess C provenance and carbon fluxes in saltmarsh habitats

  • Assess the extent of BC habitats

  • Establish a long-term monitoring site for saltmarsh and seagrasses enabling experimental manipulation of climate change factors

  • Provide a detailed evaluation of “potential” BC ecosystems (pBCE)

  • Quantify the socio-economic, biodiversity and coastal protection aspects of BC habitats

  • Develop long-term management strategies for BC habitats in line with existing and future legislative mechanisms
