description
The aim of this contract will be to assess the blue carbon stocks and accumulation rates of the Humber Estuary and The Wash and North Norfolk Coast SACs, with the intention to provide data to fill wider evidence gaps around intertidal blue carbon stocks of the intertidal sediment habitats in England. This area of research has been identified by marine specialists in Natural England's Marine Habitats and Species team within the Chief Scientist's Directorate as a key priority, aligning with multiple disciplines including natural capital and climate change.
Additional information: NOTE: The deadlines for this publication have been extended.
This contract is divided into three distinct "phases", please provide a separate quote for each phase detailed below. 1, Field survey) Sediment coring, replicating NE's internal sediment carbon survey methodologies and ensuring data is comparable, the details of sediment coring protocol is detailed in the RFQ: 2, Data Analysis) Quantification of carbon stocks (e.g. Total Organic Carbon, Total Inorganic Carbon, TON/ TIN, using elemental analysis), accumulation rates and , grain size, etc: 3, Reporting) Clear and concise project report., raw carbon data on stocks and accumulation rates on .xls format, maps on JPEG format.
