    Brief

    This research opportunity seeks desk-based analysis of historical marine organism wash-ups on United Kingdom beaches. The project aims to compile comprehensive information on species and species groups that regularly wash ashore around the UK coast, creating an improved understanding of marine health patterns and coastal ecological trends. The research will support the Coastal and Marine Health Programme by providing collated, evidence-based data on marine wash-up events. This work will help identify patterns, inform coastal management strategies, and contribute to improved monitoring of marine ecosystem health around UK shores.
