Marine/ Coastal

Opportunistic algal monitoring

We are currently undertaking opportunistic macroalgal cover (e.g. Ulva spp.) monitoring for the Environment Agency in several Essex estuaries. The work involves estimating total cover and sub-sampling areas to ascertain wet weight, entrainment and associated infauna. The work is a trial for the EA and the results feedback into UK assessments under the water Framework Directive.
