🏖️Over the next few weeks, we will dive deeper into Natural England's #StateofNaturalCapital report and the benefits, drivers of change and #naturebasedsolutions that can help turn the tides towards positive change in #marineecosystems and #coastalmargins. publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/66…

Climate change impacts put all marine and coastal benefits (e.g. #floodprotection, #climateregulation) at risk and Natural England's #StateofNaturalCapital reports they will have a very rapid increase in the near-future. (1/2) tinyurl.com/c3urdzkx 📸: Sharon Watters, Unsplash

🐟NCS recently worked with @cornwallcouncil to develop a framework for investing in #bluenaturalcapital (letstalk.cornwall.gov.uk/bluecarbon). Actions like investing in #bluecarbon projects, and creating proactive #coastalmanagement strategies can help mitigate #climatechange impacts. (2/2)

🦭 Marine and coastal benefits like produce from the sea, cultural benefits and thriving plants and wildlife are all at high-risk, according to Natural England's #StateofNaturalCapital report. Link: publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/66… 📸 credit: Ray Harrington, Unsplash

⏲️There’s still time! If you live in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority areas, you can still #HaveYourSay on the #LocalNatureRecoveryStrategy. 🗺️NCS created the #LocalHabitatMap for this LNRS, it displays the most important areas identified for nature recovery.

😮Due to over-exploitation of fishing resources, marine produce is at high-risk, according to Natural England's #StateofNaturalCapital report. Report link: tinyurl.com/mu2ycjua UK gov't announcement on MPA bottom-trawling: tinyurl.com/56ynduz7 📸: Engin Akyurt, Unsplash

💩According to Natural England’s #StateofNaturalCapital report, #pollution currently has a very high impact on English #coastalmargins, and a moderate impact on #marine habitats; this impact is set to continue. Link: tinyurl.com/mu2ycjua 📷: Claudia Manas, Unsplash

🎉NCS is celebrating 5 years with Dr. Valentina Zini on our team! Dr. Zini’s expertise in GIS and coding in R makes her a highly valued member of our staff, who consistently delivers high-quality models of natural capital, ecosystem services and biodiversity opportunities.

🐮Enclosed farmland covers ~43% of land in England, according to Natural England’s #StateofNaturalCapital report. Farmland provides locally-sourced animal production, cultivated crops, clean and plentiful water, and soil erosion control (to name a few)! tinyurl.com/mu2ycjua

💼We're visiting London today! NCS is attending the #UKBusinessandBiodiversityForum2025 hosted by Arup today. We're looking forward to attending more talks, gaining more insight (and doubtless more questions) this afternoon!

🚜Land-use change has a very high impact on farmland's #ecosystemservices, following a shift to #industrialisedagriculture and a boom in development post WWII, notes Natural England's #StateofNaturalCapital report. Link: tinyurl.com/mu2ycjua 📸: Illiya Vjestica, Unsplash

NCS has worked with farmers to map how to increase biodiversity and #ecosystemservices on their land, and how they can practically afford to adopt these changes, see: tinyurl.com/bjtsb82d #SoNC report: tinyurl.com/mu2ycjua 📸: Annie Spratt, Unsplash
