Tender: Feasibility Assessment of Bioclimate Vulnerability Approaches for Priority Marine Migratory Species — Caribbean UK Overseas Territories & Pitcairn Islands

About

Feasibility study needed to assess the applicability of bioclimate vulnerability assessment approaches to priority marine migratory species in the Caribbean UK Overseas Territories and the Pitcairn Islands. The study will build on previous JNCC-related work and will review the proposed bioclimate vulnerability method, compare it with a limited number of relevant alternative approaches, assess the availability and suitability of biological, ecological, environmental and climate datasets, identify key evidence gaps, technical constraints and resource requirements, and determine the level of confidence that could be achieved for a priority species list supplied by JNCC. The output will recommend the most appropriate approach or combination of approaches, outline what analyses can be done with current information, and provide an implementation roadmap to support future climate vulnerability or bioclimate vulnerability assessment programmes for these Territories.
