About

Natural England awarded a contract to Social Enterprise Coalition CIC for research on the potential role of social enterprises in supporting marine nature recovery and its monitoring and evaluation in England.

The project involved mapping UK marine social enterprises, assessing their skills and alignment with Natural England's marine monitoring and restoration needs, and identifying opportunities and barriers to their participation in government procurement and access to social investment.

The work included a document review, a workshop with Natural England's marine staff, case studies of three marine social enterprises, and interviews with social enterprise staff.

The contract value was £27,200.
