About

Natural England awarded a contract to MARINESPACE LTD for the collation of evidence to support a U.K.

definition of Favourable Conservation Status for sandbanks and other sublittoral sediment habitat types.

The project focused on Annex I sandbanks and sub-types (gravelly and clean sands, muddy sands, maerl beds), as well as MCZ broadscale habitats and features of conservation importance such as subtidal coarse sediments, subtidal sand, subtidal mud, subtidal mixed sediments, maerl beds, sea-pen and burrowing megafauna communities, and ocean quahog.

The data collation considered sub-features independently, not just in relation to Annex I sandbanks.

The information provided will be used by Natural England to inform the production of favourable conservation statuses for various sublittoral sediment habitats.

The contract value was £22,816.
