About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to Project Seagrass for the assessment of seagrass health in response to water quality in the Solent.

The study aimed to identify a suitable indicator relating eelgrass (Zostera marina) health in Southern estuaries to water quality-nutrients, and to acquire health indicators of suitable resolution for assessing key attributes according to common standard monitoring guidance for seagrass.

The primary objective was to design, implement, and report on a sampling strategy to identify an appropriate indicator of how water quality-nutrients impact seagrass health, collecting data and reporting on surveys to inform condition monitoring of relevant designated sites.

The contract value was £10,850.
