About
Cefas awarded a contract to University of Portsmouth for analysis and data to support development and validation of a model of macroalgal, seagrass and saltmarsh growth.
The contract, valued at AUD 54,000, involved providing feedback on the underlying principles and utility of the Cefas CPM model, updating seagrass coverage spatial maps for Langstone Harbour, providing data on seasonal cycles of seagrass coverage, spatial estimates of seagrass above and below ground biomass, collating abiotic data to characterize environmental conditions, and analyzing correlations between predictive environmental variables and seagrass extent.
This work supports the Marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (mNCEA) programme, funded by Defra.
