Jun 16, 2025
Description
Workshop held on 16th of June 2025 to launch the Coastal Ecosystem Hub—a collaborative initiative aimed at bridging the gap between academia, policymakers, and industry in aquatic ecosystem monitoring and policy implementation.
Building on the long-term collaboration (The Living Lab) between the Mersey Gateway Environmental Trust (MGET) and the University of Salford, this workshop will explore strategies for integrating evidence-based methodologies into environmental policies.
The overarching aim is to foster collaboration between academics, policymakers, and industry leaders to advance coastal monitoring and policy development. It will focus on developing actionable recommendations to enhance aquatic ecosystem monitoring within regulatory frameworks while providing a platform to showcase research innovations, share expertise, and explore funding opportunities for sustainable coastal management.
