C-BLUES: Carbon sequestration in BLUe EcoSystems

The C-BLUES project aims to significantly advance knowledge and understanding of blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) – seagrasses, tidal marshes, mangroves and macroalgae – to reduce scientific uncertainty, improve reporting of blue carbon, and promote the role of blue carbon in…

Ocean ICU: Improving Carbon Understanding

The Horizon EU OceanICU is a five year project that seeks to gain a new understanding of the biological carbon pump and its processes in order to provide fundamental knowledge and tools to help policy makers, regulators and Ocean industry–fishing…

ProBleu: Promoting ocean and water literacy in school communities

ProBleu aims to mobilise and engage students, school communities, and the wider community across the EU and associated countries to enhance understanding, stewardship, and literacy about oceans and waters, with a focus on restoring them by 2030 and growing the…

AgZero+

Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) is a partner in a major five-year £13.8 million research programme, named “AgZero+’, to support the UK’s transition towards home-grown food production that is sustainable, carbon-neutral and has a positive effect on nature.

INSITE Synthesis

With the development of the blue economy, and shift to offshore renewable energy thousands of man-made structures (MMS) have been installed around the world. With the potential for these MMS to have significant pressures and effects on marine ecosystems at…

EcoNex – The marine energy, biodiversity and food nexus

The UK has plans to increase offshore wind capacity to 50 GW by 2030. This will require an understanding of the trade-offs between climate change and the multiple uses of marine natural resources. EcoNex is working with renewable industry and…

Measuring the effects of new Calstock intertidal wetland on water biogeochemistry

PELAgIO – Physics-to-Ecosystem Level Assessment of Impacts of Offshore Windfarms

The PELAgIO project will explore the impacts of offshore wind development across all levels of the food chain, looking at the predicted changes across a range of scales – from plankton productivity to the availability of prey for top predators,…

UKERC – Energy, Environment, and Landscapes theme

This theme will apply ecosystem service and natural capital approaches to understand the environmental implications of changes in the UK energy system. Using a range of spatially resolved approaches, it will provide new tools for decision-makers that allow them to…
