Investing in a sustainable future for our coastal economy

 E-Mail Six new research projects that aim to build a sustainable future for the marine environment and those whose livelihoods depend on it were announced today. Researchers have received a share of £9.2 million from UK Research and Innovation to investigate how to safeguard the marine and coastal economy while protecting sea ecosystems. The marine economy is worth £48 billion, but coastal communities are facing increased pressures from climate change, threats to marine wildlife, and economic challenges. One team of multi-disciplinary researchers will investigate how and where meadows of seagrass can be restored in UK coastal waters. Seagrass is important in supporting marine wildlife, capturing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, and improving the productivity of fisheries. However, many seagrass meadows have been destroyed in recent years, caused by disease, disturbance, and pollution.

Sustainable Development and Resilience of UK Coastal Communities (ROCC), led by the University of Exeter, is one of six new projects to receive a share of £9.2 million funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The UKRI funding aims to “build the marine economy while protecting ecosystems and communities”. ROCC will focus on diverse marine sectors in Devon and Cornwall to develop evidence, tools and partnerships that can be replicated around the UK. It will develop a “nexus perspective” for resilience, wellbeing and sustainability – meaning that any solution for one objective must equally consider the other two areas.
