Save our Marlborough Sounds. The Marlborough Sounds is an iconic and unique marine system, which has a long and fascinating history of Māori and European occupation, and is suffering severe and ongoing degradation. Key stressors are high levels of sedimentation, damage to seabed habitats from bottom trawling and dredging, over-harvesting of fish stocks and climate change. Reversing this long-term degradation will require a concerted and integrated effort which includes passive marine restoration, active marine restoration and land-based efforts. All users of the Sounds will need to play their part, in a combined effort, if the current situation is to be turned around. This report, which is part of EDS’s wider oceans reform project, seeks to identify some ways in which this might be achieved. https://lnkd.in/gnadB6fi

At this year’s Arctic Change conference in Ottawa, Noa presented some of her early findings on soil methane flux from a long-term field experiment at the Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory in Nunavut. Her work explores the key environmental controls on soil methane flux in a tundra ecosystem and its response to environmental change in the High Arctic.

The country’s first Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) has been launched today in the west of England. LNRSs are new spatial plans, mandated under the Environment Act, that are intended to aid decision-making when it comes to determining which areas within a particular authority area should be prioritised for ecological recovery and net gain mitigation.
