Teaching Fellow in Marine Biology
Project Description
This is a small project that will run for 3 years, monitoring the efficacy of a range of trial ecological enhancement techniques installed in Whitby by the Groundworks Trust in conjunction with the Environment Agency (EA). Here we will survey the different trial installations over time to work out which are most effective at promoting biodiversity across a range of estuarine/coastal habitats and inform future developments.
Small amounts of monies are provided to cover travel and accommodation for students to be trained in survey skills by the PI /COI and to produce a report each year for dissemination to the funders and EA.

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...
