Model projections of marine environmental variables’ response to climate change within England’s south west marine plan areas (MMO1169)

Used modelling approaches to project how seawater environmental characteristics within the south west marine plan areas may change over the two decades and considers how potential changes may influence specific marine sectors and receptors.

Details

Physical and chemical characteristics of the marine environment are responding to climate change induced by anthropogenic activities. At regional scales, change within the marine environment influences the suitability of marine habitats for local marine life and impacts upon ecosystem function, sustainability and service provision.

This study projected climate change within the 20-years over the south west marine plan areas as part of evidencing marine planning policy
