Project Description
The EA , North Riding and East Riding Councils are undertaking a pieces of work to collate information on coastal structures, including their composition, state of repair, environmental information and who owns them in order to produce a working web resource showing the assets available. Working with the consultants compiling the information and producing the map, we have a role as a senior consultant ecologist who role is to evaluate the information and will make recommendations for ecological enhancement on those structures (which ones, type of remediation and where)to increase their biodiversity in line with government Netgain policy. This is envisaged as a two phase process. The initial consultancy phase which is the project here, and then after the initial scoping study a larger construction and research monitoring phase after sites have been selected for remediation and this has been undertaken.

Coastal ecological enhancement in the Humber Aug 1, 2020 - Jul 31, 2021
The sea-surface temperature of the UK waters has risen by 0.5-1.0 °C since 1870 and, during the twentieth century, both mean and extreme sea level have risen by 14cm (UKMMASS, 2010). The resulting sea level rise has reduced the area of the intertidal...
