Where appropriate, for continuity, the requirement will specify a preferred make and model. Where the preferred make and model is an essential requirement for the validity of the field survey methodology, this will be indicated by the label '(essential)' in the requirement. Where the preferred make and model is desirable but not essential this will be indicated by the label '(desirable)' in the req...

RDE688 Coastal Riverscapes: the role of habitat migration corridors-The development of a geospatial layer informed by analysis and modelling of environmental parameters to identify potential coastal and freshwater wetland habitat migration corridors. The aim is to identify adaptation opportunities which support natural processes to accommodate both lateral and upstream expansion of the current tidal zone and inland migration of freshwater wetlands in response to climate driven sea level rise.

RDE628 Analysis of agri-environment pond eDNA samples for pond metric developme-Natural England's AES Evidence Programme has commissioned a survey of over 100 ponds, including 40 buffered and 40 unbuffered ponds covering both arable and improved grassland systems. All ponds are not actively managed to assess whether management of the surrounding land parcel is sufficient to ensure good quality ponds. The ponds will be surveyed using the modified PondNet environmental survey and wetland plant survey, and water quality analysis will also be undertaken. This will enable P...

RDE617 Contaminants testing of sediment and water samples in The Wash-Lab analysis of water & sediment samples for contaminants (hydrocarbons, metals, pesticides & nutrients). Samples are taken from intertidal cockle beds in The Wash, with the aim of identifying environmental pressures contributing to shellfish mortality in The Wash.

Using natural capital risk evidence in strategic risk management-Natural England are seeking to develop their understanding of how evidence on risks to ecosystems and benefits from nature (as detailed in the forthcoming State of Natural Capital report) fits, or could be fitted, into the national risk space (government and non-government). We also want to investigate how natural capital risk can be best presented for application in strategic risk management frameworks, for those who use risk evidence in their decision-making. This contract will involve desk-ba...
