Metadata: 2023, The Crown Estate, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, Marine Internships, Marine Net Gain Project Pipeline
Abstract:
This project was hosted by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust with the help of the partner organisations, The Crown Estate, Ørsted and Natural England. The report includes recommendations on the potential interventions a developer could use, as inspiration for their future Net Gain projects. With the continued decline in marine biodiversity in the UK’s waters, there has been an increasing recognition for the importance of greater restoration action to the marine environment. To deliver the British Energy Security Strategy and meet the UK’s ambitious targets for net zero, the numbers of marine developments are likely to significantly increase in the coming years, particularly in relation to offshore wind. Defra’s 25 Year Environment Plan commits to putting the marine environment in recovery, and it is vital that nature recovery is embedded within development at sea. An important tool to meeting UK energy targets and delivering ocean recovery is the implementation of Marine Net Gain in policy. The UK Government intends to make Marine Net Gain a mandatory requirement for all new developments in English waters below the mean low water mark. It is an exciting and emerging area of marine policy. Net gain is an approach to development that aims to leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than beforehand. This means protecting, restoring, or creating environmental features that are of greater ecological value to wildlife, habitats and people than any losses associated with the original project (Defra, 2022). The requirements for Marine Net Gain are still being decided.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19310 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2023, The Crown Estate, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, Marine Internships, Marine Net Gain Project Pipeline |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Marine Net Gain Project Pipeline |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 9eb7c3ee-7a18-4cf3-869d-6db8ef2bdac8 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Information within this report was collected via â??structured conversationsâ??, reviewing the media and literature, and using the responses to the UK Governmentâ??s public consultation on the principles of marine net gain as a guide. Participants within the structured conversations were asked four questions relating to marine net gain, and answers were anonymised. We interviewed representatives from five different organisations with interests in the marine environment, including industry bodies, consultancies, statutory bodies, and environmental non-governmental organisations (eNGOs). These responses were used to guide the design of our MNG pipeline, to make the pipeline representative of the sectorâ??s wants and needs. Some responses contained more than one individualâ??s comments, which is represented by multiple icons to the side of a response. Figures include MaRePo report maps (Natural England) which were generated using restoration potential modelling and the use of wave/salinity data etc. |
