Notice Information

Notice Title

UK MECN Benthic Time-Series Network

Notice Description

The Marine Environmental Change Network (MECN) brings together organisations collecting long-term time series information for marine waters and promotes the importance of sustained observations both scientifically and to support policy. More recently the focus has been on marine benthic monitoring which has consistently been identified as a 'gap' in the UK's monitoring capability. Specifically, a UK- wide network of long-term time benthic monitoring sites would provide reference sites to help elucidate whether changes (e.g. observed in MPAs/MCZs or other areas monitored at a local scale) were occurring as a result of localised impacts or drivers operating at a wider scale. This formation is very important to support wider monitoring and assessments Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra. If you're already registered on the Bravo portal please check that your registration includes Defra, as you have to specify us in order to correctly receive the tender documents. If you have any problems with the registration process, please contact the Bravo helpline on 0800 368 4850 or alternatively email them at help@bravosolution.co.uk.
