Three GCBC project leaders will share learning from their respective marine habitat programmes in an hour-long Zoom webinar:
- Deep-ocean resources and biodiscovery: enabling a sustainable and healthy low-carbon future (DEEPEND project)
DEEPEND looks to develop a long-term project to understand the true value of biodiversity in deep-sea regions at risk from mining and climate change.
Speaker: Dr Adrian Glover (Natural History Museum)
- GlobalSeaweed – Supporting livelihoods by Protecting, Enhancing and Restoring biodiversity by Securing the future of the seaweed Aquaculture industry in developing countries (SUPERSTAR)
This project directly addresses the acute problem of lack of protection and overharvesting of wild seaweeds with the aim of ensuring increased protection, enhanced climate resilience and sustainable management of wild and cultivated stocks and their associated habitats in south-east Asia and globally.
Speaker: Prof. Elizabeth Cottier-Cook (Scottish Association for Marine Science)
- ENHANCES - ENHANcing Coastal Ecosystem Services
This project works with partners in Suriname and Guyana on coastal protection through mangrove conservation, using novel in-situ and remote-sensing technologies that map and quantify the health, status and distribution of mangrove species at the local and regional scales, whilst monitoring changes and thresholds to generate new understanding.
Speaker: Dr Isabella Bovolo (Durham University)
