Using a natural capital risk register to support the funding of seagrass habitat enhancement in Plymouth Sound
By assessing the risk to the status of seagrass assets through this approach, it is possible to determine the complementary governance actions needed to underpin investment in seagrass habitat enhancement. The methods are transferable to other locations where data exists to define the asset status. These specific findings are relevant nationally where similar vectors of risk (pressures) are identified.
