Project Summary:
The UK Government aims to improve the marine environment, addressing conservation and sustainable use amid competing demands. In England, the Environmental Improvement Plan (https://tinyurl.com/yc4jt485) highlights using the established biodiversity net gain (BNG) mechanism for land and developing a new marine net gain (MNG) scheme to enhance both terrestrial and marine habitats. In 2022, Defra outlined its consultation on principles of MNG, focusing on environmental improvements and both strategic and site-based approaches. A summary of the consultation (https://tinyurl.com/2s3j3xnm) revealed general support for MNG principles but differing views on policy specifics. The scope of this project is to integrate stakeholder attitudes and priorities with ecological modelling of scenarios on MGN mechanisms.

Student Profile:
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a PhD on the emergent marine biodiversity netgain approach and associated opportunities and challenges. The successful candidate will become part of our NETGAIN cohort and benefit from close collaboration with our partner organisation, the Office for Environmental Protection. As a successful candidate you will gain highly relevant experience and skills across natural and social sciences and become uniquely positioned to take on a leading role in the transformative field of nature markets.
We are therefore seeking a candidate with a degree in Social Sciences (human geography, sociology or similar) or in Environmental Sciences, ecology, biology or similar, with a keen interdisciplinary interest and ideally experience of working across subject areas in addressing environmental challenges.
This project requires the integration of social science methods (stakeholder analysis, workshop and interviews with stakeholders) into ecological models. Knowledge or previous experience in applying either social science or ecological modelling (or both) would be desirable, and an interest to build new skills is essential. Experience of working in areas of public policy, particularly in the marine environment, would be beneficial. Ability and willingness to work independently and to conduct fieldwork with stakeholders is necessary.
