This fully-funded PhD scholarship focuses on assessing the ecological uplift from Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) projects, particularly kelp and mussels, in North Devon, UK. The research will explore climate change impacts, enhance coastal ecosystem services, and contribute to sustainable aquaculture strategies for a net-zero future. The project is a collaborative effort involving both academic and industry partners to evaluate biodiversity, nutrient mitigation, and carbon sequestration in marine environments.
