Produced as part of the Regional Habitat Compensation Programme (RHCP) / Environmental Enhancements SCG service plan items.
Other work ongoing in relation to the RHCP / Environmental enhancement service plan items includes:
- Collating information on various environmental enhancements being trialled in coastal schemes in the area with the aim to produce summary sheets and create a portfolio of case studies/lessons learnt; and
- Exploring green finance approaches and innovative funding mechanisms for habitat creation and environmental enhancements, including undertaking a benefits mapping exercise to identify potential revenue streams/project partners, improving understanding and linking of habitat creation/restoration terminology with economic/finance language and exploring opportunities for delivering multiple objectives through stacking benefits and a blended finance approach.
