Intertidal blue carbon stocks and accumulation rates: investigating carbon storage potential of intertidal sediments for mitigating against climate change

The aim of this contract will be to assess the blue carbon stocks and accumulation rates of the Humber Estuary and The Wash and North Norfolk Coast SACs, with the intention to provide data to fill wider evidence gaps around intertidal blue carbon stocks of the intertidal sediment habitats in England. This area of research has been identified by marine specialists in Natural England's Marine Habitats and Species team within the Chief Scientist's Directorate as a key priority, aligning with multiple disciplines inclu...
