  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Estimates of the global warming potential (GWP, carbon impact) and marine 
eutrophication potential (MEP, nitrogen impact) resulting from seaweed and 
mussel aquaculture. These data includes outputs on global warming potential 
(GWP, carbon impact, kg carbon dioxide equivalent) and marine eutrophication 
potential (MEP, nitrogen impact, kg nitrogen equivalent). Values for the 
mussel are given per 1 kg live weight. Values for seaweed are given per 1 
million tonnes of wet-weight. These data were collected to understand the role 
that seaweed and bivalve aquaculture can play in achieving Net Zero and 
eutrophication remediation in England. The life cycle impact assessments 
(LCIAs) consider rope grown blue mussels (*Mytilus edulis*) and sugar kelp 
(*Saccharina latissima*) in English waters. Mussels are grown for food 
purposes, while seaweed is grown for production of biochar and biofuel. The 
data are given as summaries per component of the life cycle impact assessment 
as csvs, and the models themselves are exported to text files which can be 
used in SimaPro.</dc:description>
