About

Natural England awarded a contract to JBA Consulting for a research project examining the expansion and degradation of saltmarsh habitats using remote sensing and earth observation.

The project assessed the Environment Agency's Saltmarsh Extent and Zonation dataset against Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery, alongside field survey data from Natural England, to evaluate the 'burning in' approach and determine where saltmarsh habitats are expanding or declining.

It also critically assessed the incorporation of the dataset within the Living England Phase IV habitat probability map, testing alternatives to the current thresholding approach.

The work was to be documented in a technical report with recommendations for inclusion in habitat mapping workflows and scaling up to national scale.

The contract value was AUD 19,602.
