Connectivity of Hard Substrate Assemblages in the North Sea (CHASANS) Jan 1, 2020 - Dec 31, 2022
The primary aim of the CHASANS Project is to deliver improved larval connectivity models necessary to provide guidance on decommissioning and derogation of artificial structures in the North Sea. Ground-truthing studies will be employed to validate m... Read More about Connectivity of Hard Substrate Assemblages in the North Sea (CHASANS).

Evidence based approach to effect of decommissioning on MPA conservation and ecosystem services Feb 1, 2017 - Jan 31, 2018
Building on existing frameworks, we will develop a Decision Steering Document (DSD) which contains a transparent, defendable and more streamlined procedure for identifying and assessing scientific evidence. The DSD will facilitate decision-making for... Read More about Evidence based approach to effect of decommissioning on MPA conservation and ecosystem services.

Sublittoral rock indicator: spatial correlation between environmental conditions and biological data Jan 1, 2017 - Jun 1, 2018
The Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) wish to develop and calibrate the ‘morphological diversity of sponge assemblages plus anthozoan species composition and abundance’ indicator for the monitoring of sublittoral rock. Initial analysis of So... Read More about Sublittoral rock indicator: spatial correlation between environmental conditions and biological data.
