Project overview
The SWARD project aims to develop best practices for systematic monitoring of seagrass habitats, improving assessments of ecosystem health and resilience and informing proposed nature-based solutions (NbS) in shallow coastal environments. The project will employ and test new technologies and novel sensing tools around Brownsea Island, Poole Harbour, to collate a comprehensive dataset on environmental conditions and seagrass ecosystem health, working with local stakeholders the National Trust to support habitat restoration initiatives.
