PelCap - Pelagic Natural Capital
The Pelagic Natural Capital project or “PelCap”, draws together 12 partner institutions from across the UK to improve our pelagic knowledge and evidence base by furthering the delivery of a comprehensive monitoring program to provide a more holistic view of pelagic food webs; to optimise this evidence, by making the data accessible and useable; and to provide a demonstration of the use of this evidence in supporting better decision-making through a natural capital approach.
This project was funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) as part of the marine arm of the Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) programme. The marine NCEA programme is leading the way in supporting Government ambition to integrate natural capital approaches into decision making for the marine environment.
