About

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne for observation work and data collection on the intensity and locality of organism collection activities within the Berkshire and Northumberland Coast European Marine Site.

The work included mapping the scale and intensity of organism collection across the site to provide a seasonal picture comparing summer and winter activities, assessing current adherence to byelaws at Boulmer, comparing the density and size of periwinkles over shores with differing collection intensities and over time using historic data and samples, calculating estimated annual biomass removal for Arenicola species and Littorina littorea throughout the EMS, and reporting and projecting material production.

The contract value was £20,000.
