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 PSYM analysis to determine if the pond is in good condition based on its ecology, whilst the water quality analysis will illustrate the efficacy of buffers. Water samples will also be taken from each pond for DNA analysis. In collaboration with partners at the Environment Agency, Cefas, Freshwater Habitats Trust, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and Bowburn Consultancy, Natural England will combine DNA data from the AES ponds with DNA data from our national, long-term programmes which survey ponds every year (e.g. District Level Licensing, England Ecosystem Survey, GenePools, etc.) to develop novel metrics for assessing the ecological condition of ponds to enable landscape-scale decision-making. These data will contribute to natural capital accounting and 25 Year Environment Plan indicators, monitoring and evaluation of policy interventions including Environmental Land Management scheme, Nature Recovery and Net Gain, ground data for Living England, and remote sensing applications for condition assessment.

CEFAS24-133 RFQ for technical advisory services on risk assessment

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is funded through UK official development assistance (ODA) as part of the UKs Blue Planet Fund. It aims to strengthen marine science expertise, develop science-based policy and management tools, and create educational resources for coastal communities under three main objectives described in terms of marine pollution, sustainable seafood, and marine biodiversity. It supports activities in partnership with country governments directed towards capacity building for marine science in local institutions, organisations and communities. Shipping-related Pollution: Whilst the number of shipping-related pollution incidents has gradually decreased with improvements to ship safety and training over recent decades, the risk of shipping incidents remains. This is due to the rapid expansion of international trade, where there is still the potential for occasional large high-profile incidents to occur through collision and/or grounding, as well as emerging activities such as oil exploration activities and development of petroleum refinery. Spills can include pollutants such as hydrocarbons, plastics, and hazardous and noxious substances. Recent high-profile events such as the MV Wakashio grounding on the outer reef of Mauritius, spilling ~820 tonnes of low sulphur fuel oil into the surrounding environment and the X-press Pearl which caught fire and spilled oil and plastic pellets along the coast of Sri Lanka, demonstrate first-hand the devastating impacts of such incidents. Such incidents can threaten marine biodiversity, world heritage sites and the livelihoods of coastal communities. There is a need to understand the risk posed by spills to inform proactive preparedness for such spills. Compared with other parts the of the world, the capacity of countries in the Indian Ocean region to respond to maritime disasters still remains a challenge. Government agencies are seeking to address this and have taken steps towards reinforcing pollution response capability. Risk Assessments are a useful tool to help understand the relative risks and to support environmental management decision making, and can be used to inform management decisions, based on the assessed risk to ecological and economic marine resources. Requirement: Work Package 1: Risk Assessment Report for Sri Lanka This report will include an assessment of risk of maritime spills and risk to aquatic resources (e.g. commercial, habitats and species). The Assessment will evaluate data and information from the period 2018 to present.
