About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom for the UK MECN Benthic Time-Series Network, valued at £24,600.
The contract supports the Marine Environmental Change Network (MECN) in bringing together organisations that collect long-term time series information for marine waters, promoting sustained observations scientifically and for policy support.
The focus is on marine benthic monitoring, identified as a gap in the UK's monitoring capability, with the aim of establishing a UK-wide network of long-term benthic monitoring sites to provide reference sites for distinguishing localised impacts from wider-scale drivers.
