Project Details

Description

The University of Portsmouth and the Institute of Marine Sciences plays a key role within the Solent Seascape Project, leading the comprehensive biodiversity monitoring efforts. We are assessing species diversity, calculating carbon storage potential, monitoring water quality and nutrient levels as well as evaluating ecosystem connectivity. We will continuously measure the overall health and biodiversity of the restored habitats, contributing invaluable data for the project’s conservation and restoration goals.
