Estuary Characterisation: Morecambe Bay and Dee Estuary.

Natural England wishes to commission a desk based study to source and use current data and historical data to measure and evaluate estuarine function over time for the Dee Estuary SAC and Morecambe Bay SAC.

Natural England are seeking potential contractors to pay particular attention to study design so that quantitatively robust data is acquired to support condition assessment judgements. Where appropriate GIS should be used.
