WWF UK WHOLESCAPE PROGRAMME - Feasibility of multi-habitat coastal restoration

Tender description

Please read the invitation to tender word document for full information. To make an initial determination on whether multi-habitat coastal restoration in North Norfolk will be feasible and will deliver ecological and socio-economic benefit to the area. For this research piece, feasibility of restoration has been primarily identified as reliant on quality and extent of existing habitat type and the scale of pressures, such as poor water quality, within North Norfolk. Further identification of potential ecosystem indicators of success would be beneficial to determine effects of functional connectivity between multiple habitat types. This is a desk-based feasibility study and, depending on the outcome of this research, aims to develop into a larger project looking to actively restore multiple habitat types within North Norfolk. This work sits within the wider WWF-UK Wholescape Programme across the county of Norfolk.
