NESP MB Project E5 - The role of restoration in conserving Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES)
This record provides an overview of the scope of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "The role of restoration in conserving Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES)". No data outputs were generated by project.
--------------------
This research will assess the capacity of habitat restoration to insulate against loss and degradation of MNES, through restoration key habitats and the species they support. In general, restoration techniques in marine ecosystems have been seen as embryonic and cost-prohibitive. But the risk of decline in key habitats and their potential loss through the cumulative impacts of climate change and local pressures makes the imperative for more effective and efficient techniques urgent. In several habitats, recent advances in technology suggest marked improvement in efficacy and cost-effectiveness. This project will review and assess the capacity of active restoration to secure conservation outcomes for MNES across four habitats: giant kelp forests, seagrass communities, saltmarsh communities, and shellfish communities.
Planned Outputs
