Description

As part of Year 2 of the Marine Natural Capital Ecosystem Assessment Programme (mNCEA), the Environment Agency are running a project called the Land-Sea Interface (LSI), which aims to improve the evidence of ecosystem services in key estuarine and coastal habitats, such as saltmarsh, seagrass and shellfish beds. This particular project aims to understand more about the rates of nutrients are removed from the water column and sediment by saltmarsh habitats through denitrification. The deliverables of the project will be used to fill evidence gaps in the updated Combined Phytoplankton-Macroalgae (CPM) model and improve our natural capital assessments of natural and restored saltmarsh habitats.
